+# This is a combination of merging up to 2.4.13 and cleaning up some
+# mismatched rcs ids which had crept into the tree. It also makes the
+# block device cache and the xfs metadata cache coherent - well almost
+# coherent. The xfs super block and the log are written from special
+# purpose buffers which are not part of the regular cache. 
+# 
+# Since unmount flushes and removes all cached data, the only time the
+# inconsistency shows up is if you look at the block device while the
+# fs is mounted. A consequence of this is that regression test number 17
+# in the test suite will now fail - since it does precisely this.
+# 
+# I hope to fix the super block one at least at some point, this will
+# make xfs_db on a running fs more useful, but the log may never be
+# fully coherent with the block device interface...
