Hi! stumbled over the following code: + /* Don't update times for block devices using O_DIRECT */ + if (!(file->f_flags & O_DIRECT) || !S_ISBLK(inode->i_mode)) { + inode->i_ctime = inode->i_mtime = CURRENT_TIME; + mark_inode_dirty_sync(inode); + } but [A:] S_ISBLK() should be true if the inode is a block device [B:] (file->f_flags & O_DIRECT) should be true if O_DIRECT is requested !(A || !B) == (!A && B) (De Morgan) so the times will be updated if the device is a block device and O_DIRECT is not specified, correct? but the comment says otherwise ... please correct me, if I'm wrong ... best, Herbert _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
