I know nothing about your system, so I need to know some basic information before I start.

I simply > reported a bug in XFS. You can use it or not, I do not care at all. No, that's not what I said. You're hearing what you want to hear, not what I'm saying. I care about fixing the bug - I'd be ignoring you if I didn't care. However: don't confuse the fact that I don't care who you are, what you do, how important you think you are or what you think know with that. Who you are simply not important - you are a Random Joe from the interwebs that has reported a bug, and I've given the same response to you that I gave to the last hundred Random Joes that have reported problems. So, Random Joe, it's now your responsibility to jump through the hoops we ask you to so that _we_ can find the cause of your problem. > Of course I don't like bugs and I'm going to help to fix it, but I > have a long daily todo list and I'm not going to spend my time > filling in irrelevent items. Oh, cry me a river. The majority of what is asked for in the FAQ can be gathered in less than 5 minutes. You've wasted far more time than that arguing that what I asked for is irrelevant, unnecessary and too hard to gather and lecturing about irrelevant stuff like MMP and HA. Then having the gall to accuse me of not caring about fixing your bug. You need to pull your head in and take a long, hard look at yourself. I can't fix a bug without the bug reporter's help, and you seem to be unwilling to help. Ergo, I can't fix the bug. Co-operation is needed. If you want your problem fixed, please drop the attitude, go back up the thread to where I asked for information from you, and fresh start again. -Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
