>Description:
The kernel displays a warning on system startup:
lfs_mountfs: please consider increasing BUFPAGES to at least 0
It is coming from lfs/lfs_vfsops.c (line 1275 as of r1.143):
if (fs->lfs_ivnode->v_size > LFS_MAX_BYTES) {
fs->lfs_flags |= LFS_WARNED;
printf("lfs_mountfs: please consider increasing BUFPAGES to at least %lld\n",
(long long)(fs->lfs_ivnode->v_size * bufpages / LFS_MAX_BYTES));
}
Here bufpages is passed as 0, so that leads to a bogus message
"... at least 0".
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot with GENERIC kernel from 2/4 through today. Prior kernels
may have the same symptom, but I haven't tested yet.
