A data file named 'test_data' is needed for exercising the mapping. It can be produced for example by: dd if=/dev/urandom of=./test_data bs=4096 count=4 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

How grave is it a problem for LSB certification? Do the distributions need to fix that? Or will LSB be "fixed" not to mandate that? [23:52] < licquia> that's what i'm trying to figure out [23:52] < licquia> right now, it's looking like a kernel problem [23:52] < licquia> after some investigation, i've found evidence that it's fixed in 2.6.19rc1 [23:52] < licquia> which i'm testing right now [23:53] < licquia> (if i can get a kernel built that supports sata :-) ) [23:53] < licquia> what clued us in is that red hat backported the patch to their 2.6.18 kernel [23:54] < licquia> and fedora core w/ that kernel passes the test http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.17.y.git;a=commit... broke it. http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=... fixed it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
