The rsync is within a single FS. Aside from that, here is the original bug report by Matthias Schniedermeyer: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=98157768131423&w=2 with no reply. My report: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=98262067309185&w=2 with myself replying :) Russell King's report: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=98326853429463&w=2 which gave a fair amount of discussion. Note that in my report I state that the problem cannot be seen with smaller workloads; I have to try with at least drivers/* before it shows itself. Hmm, just tried with 243-ac12 (yeah, I'm way behind). I have to try the full tree now, drivers/* wont do it anymore. -- Regards, Rasmus(rasmus@jaquet.dk) "An intellectual is someone who has been educated beyond their intelligence."
