There's something not quite right, as I'm not getting the "m"
directory or any contents created, resulting in things like this:
(4.286992) content/fs_backing_store.c get_store_entry 844: url:http://www.google.co.uk/images/icons/product/chrome-48.png

I have "d" and things in "d".

pread/pwrite() do not seem to be working here either, they just return
-1?

I have those two files but they are both 0 bytes.

Any ideas?
