My DOC chip is *not* mounted. In fact, I can rmmod the driver. That shouldt ell you the flash is not in use. But this thread keeps my load averages around 1. If I 'rmmod doc' then my load averages drop to 0.06. WWhat does this thread do to a flash that is not in use? -----Original Message----- From: kira brown [mailto:kira@hex.linuxgrrls.org] Sent: Monday, February 11, 2002 7:53 PM To: Chris Fowler Cc: linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org Subject: Re: FW: M-SYS Doc Replacements On Mon, 11 Feb 2002, Chris Fowler wrote: > Is anyone selling M-SYS compatible euqipment.
