You don't have to worry about this message - everthing will work as before even with this warning. You just don't get the extra feature of not trashing your buffer caches when recording a movie or when viewing a stored one. To have an advantage of this new feature you will have to get a newer glibc and maybe a newer kernel. But sorry - no idea when they started to fully support posix_fadvise(). Ralf
