devices.txt inconsistency

2001-01-01 Thread Ari Pollak
This has not been fixed for at least a year that i can remember - in Documentation/devices.txt, it says /dev/js* should be char-major-15*, but in Documentation/joystick.txt it says it should be char-major-13. I'm assuming joystick.txt is the correct one, and devices.txt should be updated to reflec

NFS Locking problems

2000-12-19 Thread Ari Pollak
Is there a problem with NFS locking in 2.4.0-test12 and/or 2.2.18? I'm using nfs-utils 0.2.1 and NFS v2, connected to a NFS v2 server running Linux 2.2.18. Whenever mutt tried to place a lock on a file on an NFS share, I get the following messages in syslog (I get the same message for each time mu

videodev.c won't compile in test11-pre6/pre7/final

I was going to report this back in pre6, but I thought someone had caught it already.. When the bttv driver is enbabled as a module in test11, make modules fails with: videodev.c: In function `videodev_proc_read': videodev.c:283: `VID_TYPE_MPEG_DECODER' undeclared (first use in this function) vid

Re: scd/ide-scsi reporting size incorrectly

Hm. I noticed the size reported is only the size of the last session, not the total of all the sessions. On Sun, Nov 05, 2000 at 03:17:25PM -0500, Ari Pollak wrote: > Hey. I'm using an Acer 50X cdrom used with scd & ide-scsi emulation, and > I just noticed that 'df' is r

scd/ide-scsi reporting size incorrectly

Hey. I'm using an Acer 50X cdrom used with scd & ide-scsi emulation, and I just noticed that 'df' is reporting size incorrectly: /dev/scd185946 85946 0 100% /mnt/cdrom Even though du clearly shows there is much more than 85 MB used: $ du -s /mnt/cdrom 359397 /mnt/cdro

Hardware APM suspend

2000-10-31 Thread Ari Pollak
Question - is hardware APM suspend supported in any current available kernel/apmd? I ask this because when I press the power button on my computer, which is supposed to do a hardware suspend (according to my BIOS) and I'm in X, the screen basically turns to garbage and I can't do anything except r

USB behavior screwy for uhci.o in test9-pre5

2000-09-21 Thread Ari Pollak
Sometime between test9-pre3 and test9-pre5, the alternative UHCI driver (uhci.o) got screwed up - with my MS Natural Keyboard Pro in USB mode & using the keybdev + hid + uhci driver, pressing one of caps/num/scroll lock turns the appropriate light on, but then when pressing the same caps/num/scrol

Hrm. very weird. I guess it doesn't do it anymore (couldn't tell you if it did it on test8-pre1 w/o vmpatch, i had it disabled) - only when you abort it in the middle. In any case, here's what /proc/slabinfo says: slabinfo - version: 1.1 kmem_cache59 78100221 uhci_

Well, the vmpatch still didn't fix the problem I've been having for many moons (I believe since late 2.3.99) - When running updatedb from the slocate distribution, I lose at least 90 MB of memory by the time it's finished, and it takes about a day for the memory to become usable again - this is no
