Re: OT: File corruption in 2.2.x



Follow a link from linuxtoday.com to kernel traffic, or better yet look
for Allen Cox's site for info on this.  There is a pre-2.2.11 patch
(actually several of them) on Cox's ftp site.  I was expecting the
final version to come out as 2.2.11 last week, Linus must be looking at
this closely before giving it his OK.
