Description Chris Evans 2001-01-02 23:23:59 UTC

To demonstrate:
"cat /proc/partitions"
Try it in RH7.0 and RH7.1beta. You'll see that RH7.1beta is missing the
enhanced i/o stats patch.

Comment 1 Glen Foster 2001-01-11 21:14:02 UTC

This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release

Comment 2 Stephen Tweedie 2001-01-12 12:35:45 UTC

Will deal with this, but I'm away next week so it will be the week after at the
earliest.

Comment 3 Preston Brown 2001-01-18 22:44:47 UTC

patch was also given to Phil for inclusion.  Needs attention guys...

Comment 4 Phil Copeland 2001-01-18 23:39:24 UTC

This is in the cvs kernel-2.4 tree
It required a bit of hand editing as some variable names have changed but it's
in the tree. I'm currently building a kernel to make sure that it doesn't oops
or something equally horrid

Kernel compiles.
Installed and run, at face value, looks stable

Comment 6 Michael K. Johnson 2001-01-19 17:56:40 UTC

OK, it's in and will be in the beta release.

Open a new bug report if there are bugs in the patch...  :-)

Thanks.

Comment 7 Chris Evans 2001-02-06 17:19:45 UTC

Looks good in BETA3
Bad news though - the Linux 2.4.1 kernel rearranged a lot of code in this
area. I bet you'll need to put a bit more effort in!!
