Andrew, With apologies to Roman, I'm withdrawing my hesitation on these patches. I was able to run tests for two days each w/ and w/o the patch I had concerns about. And indeed, it seems if the drift file is reset, the initial convergence is much slower (and this is really what worried me). However once it converges it seems to keep sync as well as the current code. thanks -john - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
