The patch still applies in today's -current. It even seems to fix the problem that was being discussed.=20 The same code that I was running before now works without an hitch.=20 There is still another issue, though. I have some ext2 drives mounted and I can cd and ls and use things like konqueror with them, however things like the following are happening: # mkdir foo # mkdir foo/bar # rm -rf foo rm: foo: No such file or directory # cd foo/ # ls bar # find . . find: ./bar: No such file or directory find: .: No such file or directory # =20 Those are definitely broken behaviour. I hope someone has an answer.=20 Now that I'm all settled in .jp I should be able to test patches or provide information in reasonable amounts of time. Thank you very much, Peter, for your patch! --=20 If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised.
