As I don't have any other mm patch installed the code obviously could not be victimized that way.

I'd just wish I had found a sentence like this and a warning on namesys.com when I began looking for a patch. Everything would have been so much easier. > I hope I cleared some of the problems you complained of , and I hope I > didn't step on someones toes or make someone upset. Of course not. Actually I might have to apologize: Because of my good experiences with ReiserFS in the past I had high expectations. As you correctly and rightfully stated, reiser4 is development code and that probably means I should not rely on anything. I just snapped in disappointment and if anyone else thinks I overreacted then I apologize to you all for any offense taken. Next time, I will be more careful. best regards, Fionn --=20 Taking away civil rights to protect a free democracy is like taking off the tires of a car to protect it from flats.=20 --=-XzbSmcsvDzfTATtOW4d8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDOr0ajkvYSI4bFywRAqHpAJ4yFqwGQxUHOiZEtWe6lnjANKKbLgCfRLtg Jt5YG90ZGgKAbEkpA8AETCY= =yXfY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-XzbSmcsvDzfTATtOW4d8--
