so I think mainly the kernel needs to be fixed or the ioctl needs to be otimized. Or maybe someone should find out if that bug is still there with 2.6.30 That comment is from 2003. And I still consider this like Robert as wishlist. But it doestn't matter for us at all if this is normal or wishlist in the BTS Then there's just another report where the severity in the BTS doestn't match our own priorities. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
