If among 1000 thousand computers with 2.6.15, and 2.6.15-rcX reported by klive.cpushare.com are 20 that are affected, you might say that among 150.000 computers registered http://counter.li.org/ there are almost 3100 computers affected. Yeah, a minority, but when you count them up it sums up to a hefty number of admins or just users that hit a bug and do not know what is going on. Andrea Arcangeli's klive could some day be a measure of the bug-affected fraction. If it already is not. Klive reports hardware setups and configuration. I am not sure if it is available somehow but maybe it would be nice to query klive database in an SQL manner? > SELECT COUNT(*) from hosts WHERE kernel = "2.6.15" and config_scsi = 'y' and ...; > 3089 -- Best regards, Maciej - 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/
