The patch titled lguest example launcher truncates block device file to 0 length on problems has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was lguest-example-launcher-truncates-block-device-file-to-0.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: lguest example launcher truncates block device file to 0 length on problems From: Chris Malley <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The function should also use ftruncate64() rather than ftruncate() to prevent files over 4GB (not uncommon for a root filesystem) being zeroed.
