This is a little update to fix hostfs. Both reads and writes go through the page cache now, so the data corruption problems that I saw should be gone. I tested it with a UML build, which worked. The acid test is a deb build, which I haven't done yet, but I will as soon as I get some free time. The strange behavior in the 2.4.7 hostfs was caused by a long-standing bug which was chased down and executed in cold blood by Livio Soares. This is fixed as well. Jeff |
