Hmmm, but, having thought about it, Stephen, do I really need to do this:
> if (!buffer_uptodate(new)) > wait_on_buffer(new);
if I know apriori that the "new" buffer could never had any io on it, because it is not a data block of any inode, it is completely free.
Having said that, I don't know what happens if one does "cat < /dev/hda1", this may have generated some io on this block so perhaps I should do as you have said?
Regards, Tigran.
