Just turns out that the system I was working with was good at creating them itself. I've sliced and diced (made lots of partitioning changes) the system recently and am still working on getting everything working right. When I get everything working again, I'll give the patch set a try. -- Mike - 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/
