This was also suggested by Steve Toth, to whom I apologise for not responding sooner: On 2005-05-05 at 17:18EDT Steve Toth wrote: > I usually increase the DVR_BUFFER_SIZE in dmxdev.h from > 10*188*1024 to 100*188*1024 to avoid this issue. I didn't do this, since increasing the buffer size in tzap (or using "dd ibs=19251200...") gets round the problem without changing kernel files. However, if the correct thing to do is to change them, shouldn't it be a kernel config option rather than a patch?
