Pete's Log: fight the future!

take a nap ...
so I've gotten LTFS to compile on Linux 2.4... now comes the important bit: getting it to work... right now the mount process hangs when I try to mount any ltfs filesystem. However, the rest of the system remains responsive. This leads me to believe that I'm not properly initializing a semaphore or wait queue properly somewhere. This is quite likely, since the semantics for both of those seem to have changed significantly between 2.2 and 2.4... Also, it seems that the structures in <linux/fs.h> have changed significantly. I may need to print out a good chunk of this code to have as reading material down in MS. I must become one with it. Thank God for lxr, though...
