I've sent acks for a couple, but not all. No ack for the sys_sync removal because I think this is just a work around for fuse issues, and fuse should be fixed (getting fuse tasks frozen post-sys_sync makes far more sense to me). No ack for the other patches because I haven't put the time into considering them. Regards, Nigel -- See http://www.tuxonice.net for Howtos, FAQs, mailing lists, wiki and bugzilla info.
