The main 'trap' usually would be the SCSI Driver.
If you're using PVSCSI, go into SCSI & RAID, then SCSI Low Level
Driver, then select VMware PVSCSI as built-in, not module.
If you're using LSI Logic, select Fusion MPT instead.

The "-15.15" is the same as the printf(3) format. The minus sign means

Hello list,
Could anyone tell me where I could find an explanation of mutt
$index_format syntax. I read mutt manual, but it's not enough for me.
For example, I don't understand what does -15.15 mean (in default value
