How do you know that "/foo" is better directory > on a random system? I think Jari's point is that it's providing O=/something *even* when the calling code *DOES* know that /foo is a better directory, so when you pass it O=/foo because you know it's The Right Thing for Your Particular Random System, it gets overridden. Either that, or I need to find more caffeine, and re-parse what Jari wrote... ;) --==_Exmh_998937004P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFA2xbOcC3lWbTT17ARApT9AKCYN0w1axoz63evHzpjvPj5yufFPACgoFZU oQ2KJwygcyfLlTt1MhYlkm8= =DK+i -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_998937004P-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
