I try 2.4test4 with test5pre3 patch and find problems
My stable configuration: RedHat 6.2 (russian Black Cat modification) kernel 2.2.13 without module support (monolyte) KDE no SCSI
This machine uses as workstation to acess Novell 3.12 server. Novell volume constattly mounted to linux filesystem by ncpfs. There are no problems in stable configuration with 2.2.13 kernel.
I change only kernel. When I try 2.4, I find unstable work with Novell volume.
1. New kernel sometimes understand files with russian names as directories and directories with russian names as files in Novell volume. But the others (in russian too) are recognized correctly (screenshots attached).
2. It's strange conversion upper and low russian letters. If you compare two screenchots you can see that some directories under 2.4 became lowcase (from uppercase), some namese became uppercase from lowercase, and some does not changed.
3. It,s strange limitation of access to server. I login to Novell as supervisor, and as root to Linux. but you can see closed directiries.
4. In some Novell directories it normally go doun, but when your want to move up by the tree, machihe hangs. Its no reaction both on ctrl-alt-backspace (shutdown X session) or in ctrl-alt-del. Only hard reset is avaliable. In some Novell directories it is stable mistake (each attempt to gu up ended by hang). In other directories it is no problems. I can't detect any regularity.
