Peace Jeff :) In another mail, I gave an example with tmpreaper clearing out unused files; if some of those files are only read and never modified, tmpreaper would start deleting files which were still frequently used. That's a regression, the way I see it. As for 'massive amounts of users', well, tmpreaper exists in most distros, so it's possible it has other users than just me. -- / jakob - 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/
