loff_t is 64 bits. typedef __kernel_loff_t loff_t; typedef long long __kernel_loff_t; typedef __u32 ext4_lblk_t; typedef unsigned long long ext4_fsblk_t start_off = ac->ac_o_ex.fe_logical << bsbits; In the above line what we are storing in start_off is the offset in bytes.So it makes sense to use the type loff_t. It is neither logical block nor physical block. -aneesh - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
