Hi Wolfgang,
sorry for the late reply. I just "stumbled" again over this mail.

I still wonder what's the logic behind this code. When will read_block() return -ENOENT (aka "No such file or directory") ? What are the other possible error conditions, and why would it make sense to continue reading after these other errors?
As it seems, ENOENT is used to mark "a hole" in the file system. Meaning space that will be filled with zeros but does not occupy space (other than in the index). So we should keep the existing logic intact.
Cheers, Stefan
