My point was that even being forced to do a lookup before creating each empty buffer, will be still faster than 2.2.x as in 2.3.x the hash will contain only metadata. Less elements means faster lookups. And we should lookup only in the write-helper functions, the read_full page and brw_ won't have to lookup. >dont spend time on putting back old stuff. The 2.3 kernels are development As the fix I am proposing is only a bit more than a one liner, I think I can implement it. Of course if there is a better fix I won't want my simple fix to be included. But in the meantime people who wants to not corrupt their filesystem while trying 2.3.20 (and I am one of such people ;), will have a chance. But if the better fix will be released in some day I can avoid to do the one liner ;). Now I'll read Alexander's suggestion... Andrea
