--- Comment #2 from Theodore Ts'o <ty...@mit.edu> 2012-05-08 10:01:13 UTC --- Using FIEMAP has some real potential problems if the file was just recently written (and has blocks which were recently written, and where their final location on disk has not been determined yet). You can work around this using the explicitly or implicitly forcing an fsync if this case is found, but supporting SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA avoids this problem. The tradeoff is that only the very latest kernels support SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
