To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Date: Sat, 28 Jul 2001 10:41:35 +0200 (MEST) From: R.E.Wolff@BitWizard.nl (Rogier Wolff) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL60 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Original-Recipient: rfc822;linux-kernel-outgoing Hi, I'm using NBD to stitch several dozens of 1G files together to one block device. Thing is that can be done in several different ways, and I haven't yet figured out the right set of parameters to pass to my nbd-server. So, what happens is that I kill the nbd server, and restart it. Turns out that the cache for the nbd device is not cleared when the client quits! Thus I see the old contents after restarting the server with different parameters.... Roger. P.S. CC-ed to Pavel, with wrong linux-kernel addr.
