However with 2.4.24-1 I am still getting kernel panic crashes and it looked like some crashes were handled in 2.4.24-2. I will try to pick through the 2.4.24-2 patch and take just the not hostfs parts. I do have loads of cores if anyone is interested since I hacked the panic code to abort() as I was not catching these intermittent crashes very often. regards, Giovanni Henrik Nordstrom wrote: > On Mon, 17 May 2004, Joe Marzot wrote: > > >>A little more data on this one - the behaviour I see with these mounts >>is that >> >>mount -t hostfs none /mnt/mybob -o /view/myview/vob/myvob >> >>succeeds but mounts the hosts / dir instead of the desired view extended >>pathname of the ClearCase vob. > > > This is a known bug in 2.4.24-2.
