In what circumstances a process may need its own LDT ??

I find it very odd indeed with IBM's big voice of open source
praise, yada yada, and what Lou has said in the past, that there
would be any question at all of wether it would be open source or
not. Isn't big blue behind open source? Or is it just for
Hello,
Question.
Are there plans to include JFS and XFS in the kernel?
Both those projects have been declared stable by their development
teams, and I'm guessing they can now be included as experimental, just
as reiser has been.
Just curious,

Hi,
I retested my scratched DVD on 2.4.5-ac19, and the machine still hangs
(when using drip) after spitting a few errors in the log:

I also get an Error in tcl script:

Hello all,
In addition to the 14 new CONFIG symbols without help texts which
2.4.6-pre6 introduced, 2.4.5-ac20 has 5 more, for a total of 19 in -ac20.
Here are the five new symbols in 2.4.5-ac20 which don't have
Configure.help texts and likely should have. If you're the owner
of these, please
Any ideas on hot to easily call an outside program from the kernel (like

Hi all,
Recently I upgraded from 2.4.4 to 2.4.5, but after that I got users
complaining about io errors on some mounted NFS systems on some files,
whenever they tried to stat (ls) or open the file. Even after several
reboots (other files failed tho).
Going back to 2.4.4 solved the problem. I

I have made available RPM packages of the DAFS sdk v 0.8. You can find
them at:

I made a few patches, some to compile cleanly and others to provide a
header file structure that is usable in both user and kernel mode.
I have attached the patch -
