See bug 401006. OKAY, Hendrik. STOP with the nitpicking. This is a bug that has been screwing with Linus hisself for a while, and even in 2.6.20 is NOT FIXED. Please, understand that, *IN GENERAL* the 2.6.18 kernel is a good choice. I have been using 2.6.18 SINCE it entered Sid, I have had zero issues with it. Unless people are using specific setups with also using torrent software doing HEAVY downloading... using file hashing and mysnc(), they are not likely to hammer this bug. *I* have done heavy downloading and have gotten into the exact same green-zone for this bug and haven't experienced it. You are over reacting. NOTHING is PERFECT. If you don't want to be part of the solution and help fix the issue, including adding to bug reports or writing patches, testing them etc... STOP CONDEMNING the work. Also, I am subscribe to the mailing list. Do not CC me please. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
