>Now we are talking about ext2fs, what about the version that OpenBSD >has, its GPL free (yeah!), do they have a fix for this. Do you mean the NetBSD version? :-) It should never have had this bug, since the bug is caused by semantic mismatch between BSD buffer handling and vestiges of Linux buffer handling in the GPL'ed part (the Linux and FreeBSD versions of ext2fs want to hang on to buffers for bitmaps, but BSD wants buffers to be released as soon as possible). I was waiting for the Lite2 merge, but that seems to have been done a few months ago, at least in the NetBSD version. Bruce
