I'm seeing an issue with a stock 2.6.20 kernel running on an embedded
PPC. I've got a usb flash drive plugged in and the filesystem on the
drive is vfat. Running with 64M and no swap.
If I execute a series of large (100M+) ftruncate() on the disk the
kernel will hang and never return. It seems to be stuck in the idle
loop().
On FAT filesystems this forces the entire file contents of that size to
be written out with zeros. Are you sure the kernel just isn't busy
writing out all that data to the disk?
