Thanks!! Michael didn't like these splitting changes at first (I don't know if I've convinced him yet), but it's good to see users that like the change. :-) > The only addition I can think of is that QUOTAOFF generally isn't > supported anymore. Oh, thanks! I can add a note that it's deprecated. If you want to add a more specific note saying it fails for new kernels, I'd need some information for preparing a patch: - Is it reporting an error? - If so, which error? - Which kernel version dropped support? - You said 'generally'. In which cases is it still supported? - Any other ideas about it? > Thanks for breaking up that big messy manpage. :) Thank you for liking it! :) Have a lovely night! Alex > > --D --
