This is an internal only field. xfs_free_eofblocks already does a trylock, and without that calling it from one iolock holding process to another would be a deadlock waiting to happen. I have to say I'm still not very easy with iolock nesting, even if it's a trylock. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
