Hi Andre ! Any reason other than usual programmer "too many things to remember" for 2.4 lacking the small ide_revalidate_disk() fix we did recently in 2.2 to keep the blocksize of the device intact ? (Just diff the 2 functions, it's pretty obvious) I'd be glad to send Linus a patch, but I beleive he won't accept an ide.c patch that doesn't originate from you ;) Regards, Ben. - 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://vger.kernel.org/lkml/
