[solt@dns.toxicfilms.tv: TCP Window Scaling problem with buggy routers FIX works]

2004-08-30 Thread Christoph Hellwig
I think we want a TCP window scaling workaround. Either wevert the default to the pre-2.6.7 or backport the autoscaling patch. I'd prefer the safe variant (switch the defaults back) - Forwarded message from Maciej Soltysiak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 13:00:37 +0200

I just talked to Jens Axboe about all cdrom failures we see, and he asked the right questions. Except on powerpc, hppa and the alpha 'default' kernel we have CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE_IO turned on, which is an alternate, experimental and much less tested codepath through the ide subsystem. We should tu
