This is probably related to the series of llseek() patches that I've been working on over the last month. To get eCryptfs back to the way it was, the last 4 GIT commits need to be dropped: 53a2731f9310a66beaf55677229ab067c85ce4fa 240e2df5c740d73fc08cac9989872212deb2d20e e10f281bca03f45bdec91e67645c394eaec2f8f6 d4c5cdb3e099da7cc64df622b02ff7659babe16e Without these patches, eCryptfs will fill in 0's on an llseek() without a write, which technically isn't correct POSIX behavior, but it's better than hanging. In the meantime, I'll add the mount-touch-umount-mount-write pattern to my growing body of regression tests and try to figure out where the hang is occurring (I suspect conflicting read_cache_page() calls on the same page). Thanks, Mike .___________________________________________________________________. Michael A.
