Reply-To: rick@efn.org List-Id: Linux MTD discussion mailing list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Dear Artem, Thanks very much for the response. Sorry, I never got your previous email answering my original post. Nor did I see it in my saved archive of the mtd mailing list. Hmmm. Anyway, I got the latest CVS a few weeks ago but then had to do: cvs update -dP -D 2005-03-04 because I'm using 2.4.27 on a ARM. I noticed that the code in wbuf.c is pretty much the same in the latest CVS as in the 2005-03-04 version so I thought someone might have stumbled upon this issue. > you didn't write the version of Linux/MTD you're using.

Maybe you could tell me roughly the fix, I'd really appreciate that. Thanks again.
