Unfortunatly, it doesn't work : it says Expected -n<domain_id> because in the java source, it tests that the domain is != 0. I modified the Java so that it accepts 0 as a domain, and what happened was : error: disk number missing followed by an Oops with a NULL pointer dereference. I didn't dig further, because I thought that it wasn't suppose to work this way. But since you (well, Ian) implies that it shall work, I'll try to get into the kernel source to see what's going on. Any idea welcomed, however :) -- Nicolas Bougues Axialys Interactive ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
