RE: Linux 2.4.26-pre5

[Bert Kammerer]

Hello Marcelo,

You're my last hope :-)

Ever since 2.4.25, when compiling it in to any RedHat 7.3 machine, the
following appears in dmesg:

attempt to access beyond end of device
03:02: rw=0, want=1020128, limit=1020127

I traced this to the mount version that ships with RedHat 7.3
(mount-2.11n). Upgrading mount to a newer version gets rid of the
messages, but I am unsure as to whether or not the errors are really
going away. Do you have any comments/suggestions concerning this issue?

Thanks a million!

Bert

Hi Bert,

I saw your previous email to lkml but didnt answer... 

This error is harmless: Dont worry. It will be fixed in -rc1 (which should 
be out 
Monday or so).
