As mentioned before I got even with Nicks patch some errors. Looking closer at the source there is is a second "goto page_ok" a few lines down the label "page_not_up_to_date". Inserting the same calculating code used before the label "readpage_error" fixes the errors on my machine. These for instance where failure to do reiserfsck (bread complains on last block of device) and compiling the linux-tree (file truncated). The leads to the same calculation 3 times... Patch attached Joachim _______________________________________________________ WEB.DE Video-Mail - Sagen Sie mehr mit bewegten Bildern Informationen unter: http://freemail.web.de/?mc=021199
