Hi,
I was reading Documentation/sysrq.txt and a few things struck me as
slightly wrong, so I corrected them and created a patch. If you think
these changes are correct, then please consider applying - otherwise
just ignore it.
Patch attached as "2.4.13-pre3-sysrq_txt.patch" and is against
2.4.13-pre3.
Best regards,
Jesper Juhl

'U'mount is basically useful in the same ways as 'S'ync. I generally 'S'ync,
'U'mount, then re'B'oot when my system locks. It's saved me many a fsck.
