This driver (or the generic PS3 code) has appearently problems with O_DIRECT. glibc aborts parted because the malloc metadata get corrupted. While it is reproducible, the place where it crashes changes with every version of the debug attempt. I dont have a handle right now, all I know is that the metadata after a malloc area get overwritten with zeros.
Can you have a look at this? parted /dev/ps3da print (a few times) _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
