Re: [uml-devel] 2.4.24-2 UML problems with hostfs ClearCase mounts

[Joe Marzot <gmarzot@nortelnetworks.com>]

Thank you so much for the reply - For the most part existing hostfs 
support has been fine for me (I need the sync behaviour).

However with 2.4.24-1 I am still getting kernel panic crashes and it 
looked like some crashes were handled in 2.4.24-2. I will try to pick 
through the 2.4.24-2 patch and take just the not hostfs parts.

I do have loads of cores if anyone is interested since I hacked the 
panic code to abort() as I was not catching these intermittent crashes 
very often.

regards, Giovanni
