Remember to comment out the lines in /sbin/init.d/boot that start "update (bdflush)" Since 2.2.8(?), this daemon is no longer necessary.
NO!! do NOT do that for kernel 2.2.9!
It was because the code in 2.2.8 which did this had serious bugs, which could cause filesytem corruption, that 2.2.9 came out so quickly after 2.2.8. 2.2.9 no longer has this "feature", so you should still be running the update daemon.
Why then does it mention this as a note in the 2.2.9 patch notes? Perhaps you could elaborate, as I do not fully understand the change and was going by the suggestion in the kernel notes. Should I be running this daemon or not?
The best solution for these problem is to update the updated (bdflush) package to version 2.11 (24.05.99).
