That is great, although you probably will want support for page cache
compression when we fix this problem :-)

If I understood correctly from your previous email, you have a file
from a FAT partition that you mount in Linux using loop device, right?
I will try to set it up here to try to reproduce the problem if I
notice I don't have clue of what may be wrong. However, let me ask you
something. If you are using a swap file, and mounting it using loop,
why don't you set up Linux to use the swap file directly, since it has
support for it? Is there any issue related to a be a file on a FAT
partition?

I still don't a clue of what is going on.

Great, tell me if you have problems running comp cache with this
version.
