Unfortunately I don't have checkpoints with the file anymore :( Regards, -- dexen deVries ``One can't proceed from the informal to the formal by formal means.'' -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nilfs" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
