So it looks like that bug got squashed. OTOH, reading more than a few megabytes from an LVM logical volume crashed the computer so hard, it didn't even have time to throw out a kernel panic (I don't have a serial console, so I don't know about that. And I realize LVM stuff is a different mailinglist, just a heads up for people who want to grab the rc1 tree and run with it - try the patch instead). Regs, Sven -- Sven Riedel sr@gimp.org
