Hi,=20 I am currently testing the patch on 2.6.24.2 (as a result of http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2008-March/021024.html), and so far it seems to at least cure the symptoms, as in: The partition does not "fill up" any more so far.=20 But: For later production use I would certainly prefer a patch that also dwmw2 agrees being a cure to the _cause_, not just the symptoms. Any suggestions? Greetings . . .
