chccwdev never returning on SLES 11

2009-11-13 Thread Judson West
I ran into this while using the clone.sh from Mike's SLES10SP2 cookbook, lightly modified. It does not appear to hang if I perform the cloning steps, from the book, manually. I searched the list and caught a thread about this from July 09. Any update on why this is happening?

FatELF was rejected because it wasn't actually useful. One of the important jobs in keeping the kernel clean and sane is exactly that - refusing stuff best solved in other ways. FatELF was a very nice implementation of a solution without a problem. Alan

weird(?) idea for an extended symlink functionality

This goes back to the person who wanted some way to emulate DD concatenation of multiple datasets so that they are read as if they were one. Everybody agrees that there isn't an easy way. Now, I don't know filesystem internals. But what about a new type of symlink? Normally, a symlink contains
