Hi Max, Dann had already applied one of these patches, Thanks Dann. For the TSC going backwards check and some other requests that I have i will file a bug and take it from there. Regarding testing of snapshots, yes I can have someone test it out over here on VMware platform, but I had assume that you would also do some testing for regression on native hardware with any of these patches. Thanks a lot for your quick response. Alok > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
