Description

hrev30944; ata-bm; acpi;

Running random_file_actions without block cache (-n), I get a reproduceable error:

random_file_actions -m256000 -f20 -d10 -r2000 -vna
    189  truncate "./random_file_temp/file-13"

random_file_actions: block at 0 differ in "./random_file_temp/file-13"!

Running the same command without disabling the block cache,

random_file_actions -m256000 -f20 -d10 -r2000 -va

the runs complete successfully.

Repeating this in a tic-toc manner, always yields the same. W/o block cache, failure, with block cache, ok.

PS: Just tested on a second partition and it yielded the same result as above. Then wen't on to test on my main dev partition and got the following which looks a bit different:

    153  replace "./random_file_temp/file-56" contents
                write 203303 bytes

Took a while to hunt it down, but it's fixed in hrev30960.
