I built two identical kernels for a non-SMP machine, except for CONFIG_PREEMPT. With the CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel, the state is dirty, with the other kernel, the state is clean. -- Dick Streefland //// De Bilt dick.streefland@xs4all.nl (@ @) The Netherlands ------------------------------oOO--(_)--OOo------------------ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
