Just released this minute... > Wichert (browsing the patch to figure out why IOP reverted to 10). IOP was reverted to 10 because the 1 reason it was changed to 11 was removed (*). Having IOP 11 tools, when stock 2.4.x has IOP 10 is just asking for lots of bug reports, not to mention headaches for users. Cheers, Andreas (*) The VG_CREATE ioctl data was modified in an incompatible way in beta4 to accomodate devfs users. This caused a bug for older kernel code, and in beta5 the IOP was changed to 11. After protests, the VG_CREATE ioctl was reverted to the original behaviour (as VG_CREATE_OLD with the old number), and a new ioctl with the new behaviour became VG_CREATE. -- Andreas Dilger \ "If a man ate a pound of pasta and a pound of antipasto, \ would they cancel out, leaving him still hungry?" http://www-mddsp.enel.ucalgary.ca/People/adilger/ -- Dogbert
