Sorry but I am having a hard time understanding this comment. Are you saying 2.4 causes applications to send I/O requests longer than the hardware accepts, and if applications are properly written they should be able to limit the continuous requests from the userland (which means it is an application bug)? Or are you saying 2.4 kernel should not ``cause longer continuous I/O requests to be sent'' but it ends up doing so (which means its a kernel bug)?
