Gentoo kernel and NFS groups limitation

Hi,

does any of the Gentoo kernel sources in Portage contain the
nfs-ngroups patch (http://www.frankv
m.com/nfs-ngroups/)?
I'm looking for an easily maintainable solution to bypass
the NFS limitation of 16 groups per user.

Thanks,
 Robert

As your previous question, this doesn't seem to be very
development
related, but rather a support question - please direct them
to the
gentoo-user mailinglist or the forums in the future.
If it is a bug, use bugs.gentoo.org.

cheers,
	Wernfried

no, we dont do custom kernels anymore that incorporate
random patches

Hi

I just wanted to ask if bugzilla is used by all developers,
in this case 
specific by kernel developers? I created a bug some time ago
concerning 
a known issue with the SCSI/libata subsystem that may result
in a 
breaking harddrive (depending how old the harddrive already
is).

http://
bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174373

Unfortunately it looks like noone is recognising it. Is
there a specific 
reason for that?

Could be that the developers already included it into a
private tree. In 
this case a respond (maybe only one line) would be great (so
that I as a 
end user know that someone included it).

If it was ignored, it's acceptable if there are other
reasons or more 
important things to do. I'm just worried that not only
developers but 
also users may leave Gentoo because of things like that. I
know that 
this is not representable, but I wanted to highlight this
specific issue 
because I think that the patch is very important - not only
for notebook 
users.

Best regards

For kernel issues, please file bugs in bugzilla.kernel.org
as the gentoo
kernels are almost exactly kernel.org kernels, with only a
few minor
things added (bootsplash being one such thing.)

That should go to bugzilla.kernel.org please.

Our kernel developers are pretty overloaded right now and
busy with
"real life" things at the moment.

Greg, this is already filed on kernel.org's bugzilla as
issue #7838.

That's what I just replied on our bugzilla.

Great, then poke the kernel developers again if they don't
respond
