Hi,
I'm using a sony 12/24GB scsi tape drive on an adaptec scsi controller
(on the mainboard)
"SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7890/1 (rev 0)."
When i'm using the 2.4.0-test4 or test6 kernels and I run a backup
either with tar or with amanda it stops after about 2GB with a tape i/o
error, a

Good to know, thanks. I guessed the block size depends on the cacheline
size that's going to be more than 16bytes
What is the status of support for the Adaptec AAA-114UDMA with chipset
AIC-7890AB under Linux (2.2.16+)? Under RH6.2 and mdk 7.0-2 the aic7xxx
module loads with the following problems:
scsi0 Adaptec AHA//... (...SCSI) 5.1.28/3.2.4
scsi:1 Host

Quick question.. when the lists were moved, was linux-kernel-announce
moved as well? the lists that majordomo sends out for vger.kernel.org doesn't
show it in there. Will that list be coming back?

Hi,
While looking at the atomic_t definition for i386, I found the fact that
"counter" isn't volatile is rather strange. Especially since a
volatile_read() doesn't add the "volatile" which would make the (probably
bogus example):
while (atomic_read(&atom_var));
dangerous as gcc might optimize i

Hello.
Following patch against 2.4.0-test7 does a small cleanup in ext2/ialloc.c.
ext2_new_inode() now initializes quota on inode - I think this is more error
proof than initializing quota all over the place. Now it also uses DQUOT_DROP()
macro (which is usual way) instead of direct function
Hi,
Here is a patch for anyone who needs to access HFS on e.g. an MO drive.
It's only for 2.2.16, but I was able to do that as part of my job as we
need that functionality. Anyway, I've read also a bit through HFS+ spec
and IMO basically most of the current hfs needs to rewritten for 2.4,

AFAIK, it comes from memory and swap extreme shortage.

Is there a way to run NFS only on one NIC in a two-NIC box? I know
IPchains can be used to deny access from one card or another, but is
there a way to bind NFS specifically to one card and not the other?
