The reason is to make sure all the related code pick your modification. You don't need to worry if compilation time is your concern. "make" will make sure only .c files that depends on this fs.h that get recompiled. So theoritically, it should be done relatively faster. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
