With 19-pre1-ac1 on a reiserfs partition I cannot patch a kernel. Patch fails with "Invalid cross-device link" or "Out of disk space". The partition has around 350 Mb free space (and has plenty of inodes because it held linux sources + jboss + other sources that I removed). How to reproduce: bunzip2 -c linux-2.4.17.tar.bz2 | tar xf - bunzip2 -c patch-2.4.18.bz2 | patch -p0 18-rc2-ac1 works fine on the same partition. florin -- "If it's not broken, let's fix it till it is." 41A9 2BDE 8E11 F1C5 87A6 03EE 34B3 E075 3B90 DFE4
