RE: Problem with inotify

Anton, I had used the 2.6.12 kernel with the latest Inotify. There was no "I_WILL_FREE" in the any place. And, there was no problem in compilation. I believe Inotify is very useful and should be included in the next versions of the kernel. Are there any ongoing plans for this? Thanks, Gautam

[PATCH]Fix menuconfig error message

If you try to run `make menuconfig' on a system that lacks ncurses development libs, you get an error message telling you to install ncurses-devel. Some popular distributions don't have an ncurses-devel package. This patch generalizes the error message. Patch is against 2.6.12. This patch fixes a

Problem: scsi/libata/sata

About the time the SCSI subsystem is loaded the hard drive activity light comes on and never goes out. The disk is mounted and appears to function correctly: mount /dev/hda1 on / type ext2 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) /dev/sda1 on /mnt/sda1 type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda2 on /home type ext3 (rw)

We could put it in userspace, but if the system is swapping like mad, can we still get a critical response if this remains in userspace fully? Someone mentioned we should use a kernel thread(s) to handle stopping all I/O so we can safely park heads. Shawn. --- Jens Axboe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hi This might well be my basic misunderstanding, or the test was wrong, but the probability is pretty low, so, asking here. I thought, if a task sleeps on, say, read() and then data come and there's no other runnable task with a higher priority, the sleeping task should be woken up immediately.
