Bug#494768: still a problem on lenny... and etch-and-a-half

As Daniel mentions, yes this is still a problem in stable Lenny, and I
also confirmed it is a problem in etch-and-a-half as well.

This means you didn't find any kernel version where sendfile is working? Then I fear you are out of luck. If you can't demonstrate to the kernel people that this is a regression, they probably won't take a closer look. If you find a kernel version where it worked, please file a new bug report on the kernel.

With respect to apache, it works as documented and as it always has. You have to use "EnableSendfile off" on network file systems. This behaviour won't be changed in lenny or etch. I have poked upstream about the rationale for this behaviour. But if I judge them correctly, the behaviour won't be changed in the lifetime of 2.2.x.

I am sorry but I can't help you further at the moment.

Cheers,
Stefan
