I'm pretty sure there are several mailing-lists associated with the
kernel, and I don't know which one would be best for this.  (Or maybe
just to SuSE, since it is there 2.6.8 kernel).

I can repeatedly cause the below in /var/log/warn, and my command
reports terminated.

I have 256 MB of RAM on an Intel machine, and I am issueing the
userspace command dosfsck /dev/hdc1.  hdc1 is a 250 GB FAT32 partition
with 200+ GB of data on it.

Thanks
Greg
