Hi,

Now that's embrassing. My zisofs compressor did put out the zisofs
block pointers into the file as big-endian 32-bit numbers, where
everybody expects little-endian.
So the bread() call in the kernel which shall fetch the first piece of
compressed data gets sent to byte offset 0x94000000 rather than 0x94 = 148.

Great catch. Congrats.

I sent you a mail with my test.iso as attachment. But i got it back
from GMX with this quote:

Just make the ISO on the little-endian machine and copy it to the
big-endian one. Then it should really work ... i hope ...


Have a nice day :)
