I'd be much more happy about fixing this properly in nfsd. But I guess the fix is simple enough that we can put it into XFS for now. Any reason you use up a whole int in the inode instead of using a flag in i_flags? > - > - ASSERT(ip->i_delayed_blks == 0); > + /* > + * even after flushing the inode, there can still be delalloc > + * blocks on the inode beyond EOF due to speculative > + * preallocation.

I think this and the swapext fix are .37 material in fact. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
