- This means you should upgrade to 0.99.1 :-)
-
- In 0.99.1, Linus incorporated the fix for this. There is a constant in
- /usr/include/linux/fs.h called NR_INODE which was set to 128 under pl0.
-
- By changing it to 256, I haven't seen any problems with this happening yet.
-
- You should be able to get full source, patches against pl0, or a binary image
- from either tsx-11.mit.edu or nic.funet.fi.
