Mr. Hollis:

	I think you misread what I said I am offering a workaround. However, I
would love to see all these issues resolved. I am simply saying that these
issues are not justification to say it is "broken" as Mr. Ruusu does, and
that it can be usable in many circumstances. Sure, with bugs, certain
configurations do not work, and resolving the bugs is best.


Very Respectfully,

Im not angry at all, im just pointing out that your solution is not a
solution at all -- it is a microsoft "solution", or more like a
dilbert-style "solution".

Current i-patch is not totally broken but it *is* extremely flawed. No
amount of billgates-style handwaving and "mkfs workarounds" will make the
current bugs simply evaporate.

Only a discussion of the current bugs and examination of the code will fix
things. Sticking your head in the sand and pretending the bugs
(dont exist|will magically disappear) wont help the situation.
