May I ask you to elaborate?  I'm not yet confident I understand the
question.  I mean to ask how do I increase my confidence that 2.4.x and
2.6.x udf.ko will read back to me what I wrote thru it.  I figure that
mixes together metadata and data, since the metadata tells me how much
and from where I read back my data.

I see my semi-private linux_udf@hpesjro.fc.hp.com thread titled "zeroes
read back more often than appended" says a write-read-compare test as
trivial as fopen-fwrite-fclose doesn't yet work.

I blame that either on my own bonehead newbie errors i.e. illegit test
setup, else low-hanging bugs.  I'm hear wondering, can I easily look for
other low-hanging fruit.
