Re: [LIH] acer cd-rom drive 50x
I have acer 50x as primary slave (/dev/hdb) and it works perfectly with RH6.1 ( except that it can't read some writable CDs :-( , even in windoze ).

[LIH] Re: 2.2.12-20 : VFS : disk change detected on ide0( 3, 64 ).
Hi, I think you got it wrong( or did I ).What I meant is 2.2.x kernels are giving disk change messages where as 2.3.48 is working fine.What might be the reason?

[LIH] 2.2.12-20 : VFS : disk change detected on ide0( 3, 64 ).
Hi, I have a strange problem(or is it normal).I have a Redhat 6.1 System with 2.2.12-20 kernel.After I start X, the message "VFS : Disk Change Detected on ide0( 3, 64 )." keeps on coming.But ide0 is my harddisk.The messages won't come when I'm not running the X server.Recently when I booted with a 2.3.x kernel, the problem disappeared :) Does any body know WHY? What is not there in 2.2.x kernels that is there in 2.3.x w.r.t IDE disks? TIA.

[LIH] HELP!!! Passing File descriptors
Hi,
I want to pass file descriptors between two processes.I read
man cmsg where the code for sending fds is given.But how do I receive
them.I have tried the following one, but not working.Can anybody please
help me.
- CODE start ---
struct msghdr msg = {0};
struct cmsghdr *cmsg;
int myfds[NUM_FD];/* Contains the file descriptors to rcv.*/
char buf[CMSG_SPACE(sizeof myfds)];/* ancillary data buffer*/
int *fdptr;
msg.msg_control = buf;
msg.msg_controllen = sizeof buf;
cmsg = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg);
cmsg->cmsg_level = SOL_SOCKET;
cmsg->cmsg_type = SCM_RIGHTS;
cmsg->cmsg_len = CMSG_LEN(sizeof(int) * NUM_FD);
if( recvmsg( socket, &msg, 0 ) < 0 )
return -1;
fdptr = (int *)CMSG_DATA(cmsg);
memcpy(myfds, fdptr, NUM_FD * sizeof(int));
- CODE ends --
TIA.
-Srinath.
