The only change in 2.2.19pre2 is the merge of Andrea Arcangeli's VM. Please talk to Andrea and see if he can work out why

Also the merge of blkdev-in-pagecache. If the magneto optical disk has a weird blocksize < PAGE_CACHE_SIZE (doesn't it have 2k normally?) then there could be problems.

Andi, 2.2.x not 2.4.x :-)

I neglected to mention that. Yes, the media I am using has a 2k blocksize.

And 2.4.17 is working great - this is only happening with recent 2.2.

Oops. Thank you David.
