It's v3 as can be seen from the autofs maps I posted. These directories are used mostly as read-only and get pulled in via our build system. We do not actually write to them often, if at all. I don't think this setup is uncommon, and I am worried that once people start using the latest kernel their systems will mysteriously break. > Linus - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
