Honestly I'm as lost as you here. I wasn't there when the code was created, and except reading it as you, I have ni clue on why that was done :-(

>Are those 128k block that are mostly nulls the header blocks?

I'd need to dig more in it, but would prefer to concentrate my current efforts before Christmas on solving some bugs:

For Debian:
http://trac.mondorescue.org/ticket/802
http://trac.mondorescue.org/ticket/803
http://trac.mondorescue.org/ticket/797
http://trac.mondorescue.org/ticket/789

For SLES:
http://trac.mondorescue.org/ticket/783
http://trac.mondorescue.org/ticket/794

and the most important for me (and some customers), more generic:
http://trac.mondorescue.org/ticket/805

And also:
http://trac.mondorescue.org/ticket/798 ;-) But you're the man for that one !

Of course, as usual, I won't have time to do them all. But honestly, I'm happy with where 3.3.0 is going now that I've solve the mindi-busybox issues. Hopefully will make a new stable version early next year.

So again, if you have some time, and willingness to improve that part, you're more than welcome David !

Best regards,
Bruno.
