The page size == block size will get fixed, we need to do that, but it may take a while. Block size less than pagesize will come first, blocksize greater than pagesize needs PAGE_CACHE_SIZE to be bumped, which appears to be on the cards for 2.5. V1 directories mostly work in Linux, but there are glibc getdents issues with them. The glibc code which lseeks backwards in a directory is the issue, if you have control over your glibc it can be fixed by using the 64 bit version of lseek in this code. This is all because the directory offset in V1 is a 64 bit hash value, not a 32 bit signed number. Steve > > Ralf
