I doubt it matters - because if it did, it would matter for everybody, and the HPET thing shouldn't make any difference at all. [ Or rather, it should matter for everybody trying to format a specific format (without interleave it won't matter, and not all formats have any interleave - I think it was mainly used on 5.25" floppies and special formats). ] Besides, maybe I was just mis-reading the code. But getting some testing for the patch certainly won't hurt, so I'm not going to argue against it any more ;) Linus -- 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/
