- There will be no xiafx (xfs in short) patch against linux 0.99.4
- because l99.3-x6.tar.Z works with linux 0.99.4.
- For those who have applied l99.3-x6.tar.Z to 0.99.3, you can upgrade
- to 0.99.4 by apply Linus' linux-0.99.patch4.Z.
- The upgrade is strongly recommanded. The bugs in 0.99.3 crouch
- my system when compress is run, and dump core when gcc is invoked.
- both compress and gcc work nicely under 0.99.2 or 0.99.4 with
- xfs build in.
-
- These is a buf in xfsck in l99.3-x6.tar.Z. Here is the fix.
