Sorry for the delay, I've only just woken up. I applied the patch, it
wouldn't compile, you missed the following (I think obvious) chunk:
--- linux-2.5/fs/partitions/check.c.old 2003-04-09 07:49:29 +0100
+++ linux-2.5/fs/partitions/check.c 2003-04-09 07:51:26 +0100
@@ -160,7 +160,7 @@
{
#ifdef CONFIG_DEVFS_FS
devfs_handle_t dir;
- struct hd_struct *p = dev->part;
+ struct hd_struct **p = dev->part;
char devname[16];
if (p[part-1]->de)
With that in place, it compiled without warning and the machine now
boots with the dynamic hd_struct work + aggregate stats patch.
Thanks for your time.
Cheers,
Alistair.
