The > obvious answer is that he's looking wrong. :) You think the kernel decodes the 1bit per 16 bytes into a "dcim" directory? (I filtered out both the lines with 16 0xff bytes as well as those with 16 0x00 bytes. That leaves one bit per 16 bytes that I didn't show in that Email) Feel free to tell me what I'm doing wrong.... I'd like to know. I could hack the kernel to hexdump the blocks it gets from the disk. I know I can. I was hoping the linux-kernel crew would be able to tell me something obvious I was missing or that we're on to something odd...)
