Subject: kqemu issue
I have been trying to get kqemu working and Dennis gave me a pointer
where to find some info. But the problem I had looks kinda off so I
am re-asking about it here>

Just noticed something but I am not sure what to do about it. See below

See the 'c' attribute on the /dev/kqemu? According to the chattr man
page, that means it is a kernel compressed file and the Bugs and
Limitations section of that same man page says it is not honored by
the ext2 and ext3 filesystems (which this is on). Any ideas? I
should probably re-ask this on the list.
