I just tested, 2.6.19 is OK! Kernel log output after the cp and sync completed are at http://iucha.net/19/before http://iucha.net/19/after (after echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger) When I get a chance I will try again, and report if it fails. But so far it seems fine: df and lsof work as expected. Thanks, florin -- Bruce Schneier expects the Spanish Inquisition. http://geekz.co.uk/schneierfacts/fact/163
