Chris,
it works nicely here (i586, 32Mb, Red Hat's gcc-2.96-69). Thanks.

Hi guys,
This patch should take care of the other cause for null bytes
in small files. It has been through a few hours of testing,
with some of the usual load programs + Erik's code concurrently.
I'll let things run overnight to try and find more bugs. The
patch is against 2.4.2, and does a f
Ok, found it. It is related to the last null byte problem in that it also
only happens when the direct item is split between two blocks. This is
more likely as the tail increases in size, which is why you saw it on
larger small files.
The bug is in the code that zeros the unused part of the un

Im very dubious. The post fsck nulls in syslog case is a well understood one
with the box crashing as it extends the file and never gets to commit the data
bytes.

I get the same problems with straight 2.4.2, machine is a k5 with
32Mb. The test results vary depending on what else is on the partition,
but in each case the last file affected is 01017 and there are sequences
of previous_number+4, for up to 8 files (but next file after this might b

Hello,
I tried Erik's trigger-program.
After some test i thing it's memory related, and it seems to match the
other reports i saw on lkm.
With my 384M ram i was not able te reproduce it.
With "mem=32M" linux hang while starting a test oracle-db.
However i tried (not repeated tests, and after a f

I'm running 2.4.2 and I get similar results using your test program.
This is on an IBM 390 Laptop. P2-233, 96mb RAM, 3.2gb HDD.

Hi all,
I am running linux-2.4.2-pre4 with Chris Mason's tailconversion bug fix
applied, but I still have problems with null bytes in files. I wrote a
little test program that clearly shows the problem:
/* reisertest.c: test for tailconversion bug in reiserfs
*
* Compile with: gcc -O2 -o reis
