Thanks for tracking it down.
I read through the bug report and the lkml threads, but I don't see a connection between #425534 (which causes filesystem corruption) and the issue in http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/29/26 (which appears to cause internal file corruption)- can you elaborate on why you believe they are connected? -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
