Hi Andres, hi Daniel,
sorry for the delayed reply, but I was ill for a few days.

Hi Andres, Frank,

Here is the patch that fixes it for me: http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Needs to be applied alongside the rlimit and stack expansion fixes.
yes, this one fixes it for me, too. vgchange and "mount -o loop" work again! I saw it was included in as2, too. I will test as2 during the next days.
Andres, I have not tried the patch you suggested, since I found that the above one fixes it. However, judging by the description of the one you mailed me, I don't think it will make any difference (I do not use highmem).
The highmem patch doesn't fix it here, but anyway, I've included it in my patchset because we use CONFIG_4G on all out SMP hosts who have a few GB of memory.
Thanks for your help! cu, Frank
