[PATCH] Re: readahead offset type (re: mantis 0001024)

[Mark S. Mathews]

Thanks for the patch Asier, but I don't believe disabling this syscall  
is quite the right way to go either.

Mike,

I did a little looking about and it would appear the LFS should be  
enabled for a build with just about _any_ reasonably recent kernel,  
whether one needs it or not (my target FS's are normally no larger  
than 16M ;-).

   Is this a reasonably correct statement?

It got turned off in my build because of my using svn-head buildroot  
and 0.9.28.1 uClibc (the toolchain/uClibc/..config file didn't get  
picked up due to version matching in uclibc.mk).

No complaints here, just looking for better understanding.

Thanks,
-Mark
