Can you please >clarify this? I miss-spoke above now that I read it again, sorry Con. I think I thought my fingers had put 'Comparing' in front of the 'Using' above. This time of the night, my mind has been known to be running a chapter or more ahead of (or in some cases behind) my fingers. 2.6.20-ck1 runs great, 2.6.21-rc2 was not only a dog, it fed amanda a bunch of lsd via bad data from tar, so tar when told to do a level 1 while 21-rc2 (without your patch) was running, it actually did a level 0, and predictably ran out of vtape. /usr/pix didn't change over 7GB of its contents overnight, in fact nothing changed there yesterday, but tar sure went on a rampage. Sorry about the confusion. I'm back in 2.6.20-ck1 and everythings cool. >Regards, >-ck -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
