Hi,
I have a question related to ufs block allocation.
This problem arises when building picobsd floppy on /dev/fd0
(ufs with 512/4096 fragments/blocks).
With 3.4, i can easily fill up a disk to 100% occupation.
With -current (20000127), i often fail to write a file (say 53KB)
on disk even though there _is_ room (say 55KB), and if i split the file
in multiple parts i can write on that disk even more bytes
than the original file size.
It looks like there is some change related to the use of file
system fragments, the feeling i have is that there is
something like
"if you need to write a full block, don't look for
fragments but for a full block'.
Does the above sound reasonable, and if so, would it be difficult
to change the behaviour to make use of fragments if there is
no better option ?
cheers
luigi
