Re: Data-logging and md as / fs bug

[Manuel Krause <manuelkrause@netscape.net>]

Thanks for your description below about what is really useful... :-))

On 02/23/03 you posted a kinoded-9.diff.gz to the list that solved a 
"device busy" on here when umounting a partition directly after copying 
some GB data to it.
In those days you proposed to also use kinoded when not having the quota 
patches applied. (That were the times when dirty-inodes-for-kinoded.diff
was new.)

My questions:
Is kinoded really useless without quota?
Did you discontinue the kinoded-9 changes?
Does it conflict with the recent data-logging changes?
And, I just read on the list that Kerin Millar wrote about 
device/resource busy error messages and was wondering if that had 
something to do with it.

Thanks,
  Manuel
