I go back a lot of years with Richard Stallman at MIT, and it still amazes me how right this is. Thank you for the patch. Building a kernel is next on my agenda, and I will install the fix when I do. You've also made me aware that this problem doesn't affect i386 systems, of which I have one (and two AMD64, all sharing the same backup/archive scheme and disks). So to the extent I can substitute that machine for doing ext2 work (I'm going to migrate as much of my backup scheme to UFS as I can), I will. Thanks again -- /Don Allen > > -- > Jaakko >
