Some instructions on assignment 2:

• DO NOT use partitition /dev/hda8 as it's said in the instruction website but rather CREATE your own partition AFTER /dev/hda10.

            You can create it using fdisk.
            login as root:
            type:
                fdisk /dev/hda
            type:
                p #will list the current partition table                
            type:
                n #create a new partitition
            type:
                l #create logical partition
            type:
                <enter> #use the defaul starting value which should be 3838
            type:
                +1024M #create 1G partition even though you have almost 4G of empty space there
            type:
                w #write the partition table out,
            at this point the kernel still sees the old table so you need to reboot the machine.

• Also, kernel 2.4 no longer supports get_hardblocksize,
• So if you dont want to use the hardware sector size  then just uncomment those lines (3 or 4 lines) in super.c. 
• Please create patch against the directory that you get when you untar the assignment tarball. For instruction on how to create patch click here.
