The imporant question for me is "do you want to accept patches to changes this behaviour, so we can read zero file size files". I mean this would be a huge change in internal api of filesystem layer and I hope we doesn't break anything else. But your are fine with me to say "there exists a problem with read of zero sized files?". I will create some "better" patches for this, this RFC should only answer the question if you apply fixes or not. - Alex _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
