Obligatory stupid question from the peanut gallery:

Have you tried this from a non-CFS partition? Can you verify the data
before it gets written to CFS?


I've used mplayer on normal filesystems for a couple of years.  only seeing the weird behavior under the CFS.  seems like mplayer is attempting a failed (stat) call before actually opening the AVI file, but I cannot verify this because strace doesn't fail.

the same AVI, when copied to a non-cfs filesystem works correctly.
