What we'd have to do is to define the new errno's, and then wait for the new error_message() strings to propagate out to a new glibc release, and only then have the kernel start using the new errno values. It would be a pain in the tuckus to do, but in the long run the end result would be a lot better for end users and system administrators. - Ted _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
