Hi, In kernel 2.6 there was a change of the union member field of inode structure . So code which used previously used inode->u.generic_ip to store its private information should use the new field inode->i_private. I found references some sites that this change was done primarily to reduce the VFS inode structure size. Any other reasons of doing this ?? -- Thanks & Regards, ******************************************** Manish Katiyar ( http://mkatiyar.googlepages.com ) 3rd Floor, Fair Winds Block EGL Software Park Off Intermediate Ring Road Bangalore 560071, India *********************************************** -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
