Subject: [patch to 2.6.10-rc2] ext3_find_goal
Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2005 04:16:41 +0800 (CST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <31531613.1106425001426.JavaMail.postfix@mx20.mail.sohu.com> (raw)



We found strange blocks layout in our mail server, after careful study,
we got the reason and tried to fix it.

When loading an inode from buffer/disk(ext2/3_read_inode),then allocating the second block(block==1) of the corresponding file: i_next_alloc_block and i_next_alloc_goal are both zero,and in fact are not valid,
but they(i_next_alloc_block/goal) take effect in the former codes. This causes non-contiguous file.

Below patch add a check,and fixes this.

Stone Wang.
