Hello Andrew, I patched 2.4.20 with your patch found out on http://lwn.net/Articles/17447/ and I have a big problem with: once server is booted on 2.4.20 with your patch, when I want to reboot with /sbin/reboot, server makes a Segmentation fault and it crashs. I tested it on 50-60 servers and it is the same problem. I tested kernel 2.4.20 without your patch: no problem. # uname -a Linux XXXXXX 2.4.20 #1 ven déc 13 17:21:23 CET 2002 i686 unknown # /sbin/reboot Broadcast message from root (pts/0) Sun Dec 15 14:26:03 2002... The system is going down for reboot NOW !! Segmentation fault # # dmRead from remote host XXXXXXXX: Connection reset by peer It is crashed. no logs :/ Regards Octave _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
