old pfinet and hacked ext2fs to avoid zero hole bug

[Marcus Brinkmann <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>]

Hi,

An old pfinet that doesn't has the bugs the new one has. It comes directly
from the 19991025 tar file:

An ext2fs that probably doesn't show the zero hole bug (the patch I used is
included below). This is only a crude hack to avoid the sync race. I am not
sure it works around the full problem either.

http://homepage.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/Marcus.Brinkmann/ext2fs.static.wait-sync.gz

Those should be on alpha.gnu.org, but I lost write permission to it and have
to wait for the system hackers at gnu.org to resolve this.

Thanks,
Marcus

Work around: I set the wait flag on diskfs_sync_everything
in sync_interval.c (periodic_sync):

              if (_diskfs_diskdirty)
                {
-                 diskfs_sync_everything (0);
+                 diskfs_sync_everything (1);
                  diskfs_set_hypermetadata (0, 0);
                }
