Uhh, that's a nasty bug for people storing large files over multiple tapes. Any chance we could get an xfstests test case for this? Can we somehow simulate multiple tapes using small files? The code change looks okay to me, but I have to admit I don't really understand the code very well. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
