You are right, I got confused with the names trying to follow the declaration of the variable. > The longest declared fh_name is 4 characters, but I'm not sure of an easy > way to determine this at compile time.

If somebody as a strong preference, let me know, otherwise I'll follow Andreas idea and will redo the patch with a stack name variable of size 8. > > Cheers, Andreas > -- > Andreas Dilger > > Lustre Software Architect > Intel High Performance Data Division > > Thanks for your comment and help. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
