However this archive is... unreliable. Often the messages would not show up for days, and there are some messages which are missing completely. Currently I'm using lkml.iu.edu which is run by the Indiana University. Thank you for pointing to lore.kernel.org Seems better to have a reference which is run by kernel.org itself. Do you happen to know what the update interval of this archive is? At lkml.iu.edu, when the new version is announced, it often takes quite some time until it shows up in the archive. BR Matthias
