Re: Redhat without qdisk

Hello Emmanuel,

My idea is deferent, a coponent is available and can give me some possibility. 
I don't need this features, why should I add something which can grow problems ;) ?

In my case, problem was also that my storage acces was unstable, so qdisk was very annoying.

Regards
