Huh. Well, it's easy enough to add that to the list of build machines,Quote:> After that I heard nothing more from you. I got the impression that a

If you feel that way, might I kindly suggest you add a simple rule to yourQuote:> > And, it would be nice if you raised the issue with us rather than the

It's an immense amount of data to track.
Some people have no problem with this, others loath it.
The advantage email has over this are too numerous to list,
but they start with the fact that lots of kernel developers are
lazy[*]. 2-3 keypresses to archive a patch for looking at later/merging
are about the level of involvement thats aimed for.
Having to start a browser, go to the bugzilla site, log in, search/browse
for bugs etc.. way too involved.
Dave.

This was suggested some months ago, but nothing happened. Firstly, theQuote:Dave Jones writes:

Secondly, either a copy of the FAQ, or a reference to it under
kernel.org:pub/linux/kernel/ would also be a good idea. Talk to Linus
to change this.

Part of the trailer message for all lkml messages :-)
If you would like a local copy on the kernel.org mirror sites (maybe a
good idea, if you mirror the kernel.org WWW pages), I can
automatically upload new versions of the FAQ at the same time as I
upload to tux.org.

1. How to read the harddisk track by track?
Dear all,
I am now writing a program (in kernel mode) to read from/write to a harddisk
in terms of track instead of blocks. Is it possible to implement in the
following two way?
1. use a function call for this operation. (but I don't know whether such
function exists...)
2. get the parameter of the harddisk to calculate the no. of blocks(or
sectors) for each track.
Thanks for your help!
2. 2.4.20-pre10-ac2, Sony PCG-C1MHP and Sonypi
3. How can I read the harddisk track by track?
5. Solaris 7 Track OR Solaris 2.6 Track?
6. ANNOUNCE: KDE Mascot/T-Shirts
7. How can I read the harddisk track by track?
9. Can I get the information of disk such as bytes/sector, sectors/track, tracks/cylinder?
