Right, there is a warning being generated there - I thought I fixed
that immediately after posting the first version of the patch. The
second version:
http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2010-02/msg00340.html
definitely had it fixed.
Alex, can you make sure you take the entire patch rather than
cutting and pasting bits from one patch version to another? That
way you don't miss small changes to the patch that might have been
forgotten about....
Stephen, the patch below should fix the warning.
Cheers,
Dave.
