I doubt we'll ever see reiser on sparc anytime soon. Depending on your needs you may want to check out jfs, xfs and ext3. I use ext3 mainly for the large RAID's so the fsck time is gone. You may want performance, which would take xfs or jfs (never used either one). > The potato->woody dist-upgrade went mostly fine. Apart from setting up XF4 > it was a breeze. (kudos to all!)

Just ignore them. This is a LFS enabled system. Those syscalls are the libc trying to execute LFS syscalls, which the 2.2.x kernel's don't support. It falls back to the normal syscalls though. -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
