Dear folks,
I made 18 ext2 cdroms in October 1998 using an old (new at the time) Red
Hat system. Now I can't mount them. e2fsck shows no problems. I also
can dd them to a file, then mount the file. But I want to be able to
simply access them directly. Current system: RH 7.1 with all updates.

Is there a way to recycle unused PID's without rebooting the kernel?
So instead of the next available PID always getting larger and larger,
just reset it to use the first unused PID after 1. Is this possible?

Not if set up properly. And there is no known hole in BIND 8.2.3-RE
Hi,
2.4.5-ac[4678] all lock hard (no sysreq) when pushing my
power-button (setup from the bios to go to standby) or
when running apm --standby. (apm version 3.0final, RH6.2)
apm --suspend works the way it should.
2.4.5/2.4.6-pre1 don't hardlock.
lspci -vvxxx output and .config are attached.

Linus, here's the next series of fs/super.c cleanups, cut into
small chunks. Patches are incremental.
Chunk #1:
Switches special case in do_umount() to do_remount_sb() (from
do_remount()); takes all per-superblock steps of remount into remount_sb().
That will allow to clean the lo
Chunk 3:
Takes the normal mounting into a helper similar to do_loopback()
et.al., makes do_mount() cleaner. Please, apply

Chunk 2:
Since all branches of do_mount() (mounting, binding, remounting)
do the same thing (lookup of directory) we can take that lookup in the
beginning of do_mount() and pass to do_loopback() and do_remount()
nameidata instead of name.
Please, apply

Chunk 4: OK, this one is interesting.

Hi
I have an old SCSI card that came with old HP scanner. It contains NCR 53c400a chip,
one 3pin jumper and some PAL logics. I tried
modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_53c400a=1 ncr_addr=0x280 ncr_irq=255 as described in kernel
docs, and it writes No device always.
It works fine at address 0x280 under Wins
I ran the VolanoMark and TPC-H benchmarks on an 8 CPU system
to observe the differences when changing the value at which
preemptions are triggered. I used the 2.4.5 kernel as a basis
and only changed the 'max_prio = ' statement in reschedule_idle()
to change the preemption trigger threshold. In

Strange name. Why? How about __flush_cache_range()?

How about flush_cache_range_force() instead?

After reading the messages to this list for the last couple of weeks and
playing around on my machine, I'm convinced that the VM system in 2.4 is
still severely broken.
This isn't trying to test extreme low-memory pressure, just how the
system handles recovering from going somewhat into swap,
