It's too new, and my system is Slackware -current (which seems to return ENOSUPORTED even for old stuff like posix_fadvise()). Anyway, my hardware is Sempron CPU on NForce2 MB. Seagate SATA disk driven by sata_sil. LVM2 with few volumes, one of them (my ~) on dm-crypt, but rootfs is not crypted. All filesystems are reiserfs mounted with "user_xattr,acl". I will provide more info if needed. .config attached. -- Tomasz Torcz "God, root, what's the difference?" zdzichu@irc.-nie.spam-.pl "God is more forgiving."
