Thanks Arno. So the question is if it is possible to detect the
availability of that call at runtime and only use it if thats the
case instead of crashing...
Or it should be clarified that bacula does not run on 2.4 kernels
anymore?
But I guess there are many 2.4 kernels still out there, so that
would not be a good solution IMO...
