Scary, 'no? :( Thankfully, 2.6.24.2 is out. A word of warning to users of XFS (filesystem): 2.6.24 introduces a bug in xfs_file_readdir[1] which was queued for inclusion in 2.6.24.2, but didn't make it as per changelog. It's a trivial to patch, though. [1] http://archives.free.net.ph/thread/20080211.001728.9ba3c344.en.html Cheers! -- Federico Sevilla III F S 3 Consulting Inc. http://www.fs3.ph
