You might be able to steal a couple of bytes and then rewrite ext2fs
to mask those out from the 'i_generation' field, but it would mean that
you could no longer boot your old 2.2.16 kernel withou

I found by an experiment that an Alpha with a device which provides
its own PCI bridge, and if that device is on a PCI bus 0, will stop
booting right after "Partition check" messages. The only way out is
through a power switch. One can still boot if the device in question
is plugged in a slot on

Please, don't apply, SWP_WRITEOK is defined as two bits:
#define SWP_WRITEOK 3
that means that

Just discovered that if you try to compile 2.4.0-test8 without module
support then the compilation (or linking to be more exact) fails at:
drivers/scsi/scsidrv.o: In function 'init_sd':
drivers/scsi/scsidrv.o(.text+0x1efa): undefined reference to
'scsi_register_module'

Yes. Assuming that you want to implement the microseconds field on all
3 timestamps. For NFS I would only need that precision on mtime.

Have you tried it? There is a good reason why I put the setsid() call so
early in kernel's init(). Once the initialization is done, init will have
several kernel threads as part of its process group, even

SWP_WRITEOK is defined as 3, so if (foo & SWP_WRITEOK) is not equivalent
to if ((foo & SWP_WRITEOK) == SWP_WRITEOK). Cheers,

least (not that this would help Linus) by having maintainers
do it instead of y
