A possible solution might be the patch from: http://lwn.net/Articles/110426/ But we have to review and test that one. It's on the todolist: http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue42 - but it's definitely queued for post 0.9, we had the full freeze for grml 0.9 and grml-small 0.3 right in those minutes. And 2.6.19 will have some further changes due to Libata PATA merge as well.... regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc
