This means we'd get reliable data corruption when COWing a swap file. > + * The swap code (ab-)uses ->bmap to get a block mapping and then > + * bypasse?? the file system for actual I/O. We really can't allow Also it seems like I introduced some weird character instead of an "s" here.. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
