Hi, I wrote a block device driver (its a chopped down compact flash device that supports ata PIO transfers, can read/write sectors etc.) I can partition it with fdisk, create ext3 filesystem on it, mount it and copy some executables onto it (e.g. /usr/sbin). I can then run these executables from the drive just fine (Though, I suspect the files are in the cache thats in main memory). Then I unmount and remount the drive. When I run some executables from the drive, I either get illegal instruction or segfaults. If I attempt to run them a few more times eventually they run OK. If I read or write raw sectors from/to the device /dev/cf they look correct. diff -r /usr/sbin /mnt/cf/sbin also gives no differences. What does this suggest?
