When you stat() the files under /dev the st_blksize is returned as 1024
bytes. Currently cat will look at the input block size and the output block
size and use the maximum of them as it's buffer size. I believe that
programs such as cat should never use a buffer size smaller than a page of

I have just upgraded a machine with a Mylex DAC hardware RAID controller to
kernel 2.4.2 with devfs.
It seems that /dev/rd is used by both the RAM disk in the kernel and the
Mylex controller!
This is wrong of course, there are two problems, one is the situation of what
happens if you need bot
I am working on a VA Linux server machine model 2240 which came with a
RocketPort serial device.
The first issue is that it doesn't have support for devfs. I have attached a
patch to fix this that I believe to be good (I've done the same thing for
Stallion and Lucent WinModem drivers - it's n
that it won't compile and that compilation will break
if the Stallion driver is enabled.
Could this file be moved back to the drivers/char directory?

I am trying to port the Userlink driver (used for IPsec) to 2.4.0-test10. I
have 2 questions:
Firstly has anyone already done this?
Secondly, how do I re-write the following code to work with 2.4.0?
static int
net_ul_start(struct net_device *dev)
{
dev->start = 1;
dev->tbusy = 0;

I have an Athlon 800 running 2.4.1 with two IDE hard drives, hda and hdc.
hda has the OS on it, hdc is currently blank and unused.
Today I had a bad sector error on hdc so I decided to wipe it properly with
the following:
for n in /dev/hdc? ; do cat /dev/zero > $n ; done
When running this I ra

In practice we have to extensively customise policy long before getting to the
non-proc stage of optimising for small hardware. T
