It won't break glibc. While there are conditionals for oldumount, they do pretty much exactly the umount/umount2 dance you'd expect. I'm for the patch, because anything that makes us match x86 more closely has got to be a good thing from a portability standpoint. r~ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
