SubjectRe: New Areca driver in 2.6.16-rc6-mm2
Date
Dear All,

I had met this problem at my Fab before.
But this problem seem not came from the issue of driver version change.
I had test it with my older version of areca driver and it cause same
problem.
I did this testing with EXT2 file system and I got dump messages as
following message.
But When I used EXT3 file system and run same testing, it worked fine.

attempt to access beyond end of device
sdb1: rw=0, want=134744080, limit=128002016
attempt to access beyond end of device
sdb1: rw=0, want=134744080, limit=128002016

Now I have time to research this problem.
Hope that I can give you more information about it.

Best Regards
Erich Chen
