Some more strict typechecking has recently been introduced (read more here: http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/3848 ) and this currently cause a lot of compiler warnings that have yet to be cleaned, but that will happen in time - faster if you lend a hand. > > drivers/mtd/nftlmount.c:44: warning: unused variable `oob' > This is due to the fact that the code using that variable is currently within an #if 0 block. I am not familiar with the mtd code, but the comment in there has this to say : #if 0 /* Some people seem to have devices without ECC or erase marks on the Media Header blocks. There are enough other sanity checks in here that we can probably do without it. */ ... #endif So it would seem that this bit of code could be on its way out. I'd assume that once it goes (if it does) that the variable will then be removed as well. Ohh and btw, if you want people to pay attention to your emails you should try adding a descriptive Subject: :) -- Jesper Juhl
