There's no winning on this; a debconf warning would get other people annoyed at debconf abuse. There's a general dislike of using debconf to display informational messages. A better place might be to find a way to insert it into the compilation process for the module, since people who are familiar with module builds won't always read README.modules. I'm not sure if there's a good way to do this that doesn't break any other rules about user interactivity and wouldn't break tools like module-assistant. > Secondly, something, somewhere, recognized that the cache was on an XFS > partition, but only warned me after I was unable to do anything.

I don't believe there's any way of detecting in advance whether the system calls are going to fail, since those details are rather buried in the kernel. I'm not sure what message you might have received about this, or what might have produced it. A grep doesn't seem to turn up anything in the OpenAFS source that would have produced such a warning. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
