This patch fixes fsx file -d -Z -r 4096 -w 4096 Report: 129(129 mod 256): TRUNCATE DOWN from 0x3ff01 to 0xb3f6 130(130 mod 256): WRITE 0x22000 thru 0x2dfff (0xc000 bytes) HOLE Thanks to Jan for helping me on this problem. The ideal solution suggested by Jan Kara would be to use cont_write_begin() but affs direct_IO shouldn't be used a lot anyway...
