Re: [2.4.21-rc1] Zipdrive messages too much

[David van Hoose <davidvh@cox.net>]

The problem is that the zipdrive works perfectly in kernel 2.5.69-bk1 
without all of these messages. It floods me with these messages in 
2.4.21-rc1 though. That is why I think something got lost in a patch 
somewhere.
