[parisc-linux] XFS - blkgetsize64

[Stefan Pfetzing]

Hi,

I just tried to get XFS working on my C200 (I've got a new IBM SCSI disk.) and
mkfs.xfs always got the size of the Device (/dev/sda5) wrong. (it complained
about not getting with lseek64 to that position...)
(I don't have the correct error message ready, but I can check, if its needed)

After I changed the libxfs to only use the BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl, it works fine
now. (Eric Sandeen pointed me to this)

So he said, perhaps there is a bug in the SCSI (lasi?) driver.

bye

Stefan

P.S.: I'm using 2.4.19-pa9 with a self made diff from vanilla 2.4.19 against
XFS CVS. (the patch did in nearly cleanly)
