Igor didn't rant, not even a little bit, and it reflects poorly on you that you engage in hyperbole rather than hear his story. In fact, or at least in my opinion as a computer programmer with 30 years experience, he's right: A newly stable kernel is not stable. He might even be right about regressions since 2.6.24. It's a sorry day when somebody making a simple, reasonable and accurate feedback is criticised for not providing bug reports. But don't let him (or me) stop you guys from toasting your fine success. You believe it's stable; what more could anyone want? _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
