I've been trying to do some research on the file size and filesystem size
limitations under Linux for stable releases since 2.0.
It's clear that under 2.4, the kernel imposes a limit of 2TB as the
maximum file size and that some portion of the kernels before 2.4 had a
limit of 2GB.

Hello,
I am running linux kernal 2.4.2 .
My query is concerning the manner in which the TCP code
handles the initial window size value ( RWIN ) in the TCP header.
I observed that RWIN that the client

I set using the setsockopt .

In kernel 2.4.4, a change was made to gamecon.c that causes problems
with Super Nintendo controllers. The directional pad no longer works
correctly - only the up and left directions work. The following patch
fixes the problem by reversing the change. It applies cleanly to
kernels 2.4.4, 2.4.5,

In Linux PPC, the MSR[FP] bit (that is floating point available bit) is off

Due to this, whenever some floating point instruction is executed in 'user

Nope.
I do not want to maintain two interfaces. If we make user space the way to
do these things, then we will do pretty much most of the driver setup etc

I've been playing around with different scenarios to see the differences
in performance. A good way to trigger the cache problem is to untar a
couple of kernel source trees or other large amounts of

No, even worse, it happens when you open the laptop for the first time

Just out of curiousity what are the advantages to having a RAID1 swap
partition? Setting the swap priority to 0 (pri=0) in the fstab of all
the swap partitions on your system should have the same effect as doing
it with RAID but without the overhead, right? RAID1 would also mirror
your swap.

Hello
Presumably this has already been mentioned, but since it seems like an ongoing
thing (I've seen a similar topic discussed at
http://kt.zork.net/kernel-traffic/) I thought it wouldn't hurt to provide
more info.
We've noticed the following kernel error since 2.4 (2.4.1-2.4.6). It appears
