Besides, the function that prepends the prefix, prt() is sometimes uses for continued line, which results with weird looking lines like this one: 1: 60( 60 mod 256): 1: FALLOC 0x30140 thru 0x30f3c (0xdfc bytes) 1: EXTENDING1: So it's not really worth fixing properly, but anything more then a single numeric prefix is going to look quite bad. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
