question: deleting blocks
 

BTW.

When you delete a block in the space map, how do you make sure that the
block is not allocated for another purpose before commit?

For the metadata-space-map I allocate from the space map as it was in
the last transaction (smm->old_ll). The data space map needs to do
the same (for some reason I thought we could get away without it for a
while) - it's on the todo list in multisnap.org and was mentioned
yesterday.
