I felt like some excitement today[0], and so I ported[1] Andrew's patch for 2.4.10 to 2.4.12 and gave it a try. Everything is solid so far; I did a copy of each of two large kernel trees I have lying around and diffed them, followed by an rm -rf of the copies. Everything stayed smooth and stable. Great work, folks. Here's to a merge with mainline! Regards, Sean. [0] It's been a slow week. [1] For this read: "tried to match rejects to pieces of code". I don't know anything about the ext3 code, but that's okay: I don't know anything about the Linux code, either. -- ///////////////// | | The spark of a pin <sneakums@zork.net> | (require 'gnu) | dropping, falling feather-like. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ | | There is too much noise.
