There seems to be something seriously wrong with the kernel.org mailing lists. They seem to miss a bunch of messages that get sent out. Its happened on several occasions now with not only my messages, but others as well, on several different mailing lists, including lkml, linux-raid, linux-ide, and linux-scsi. The best I can do is a link to my reply to Andy Yan's message, since Andy Yan's message is mysteriously not in any of the archives. And I'm pretty sure I didn't get two copies so the one sent to the list's just disappeared. http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/14/76 > Thanks! > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- Thomas Fjellstrom tfjellstrom@xxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
