C code with backslash followed by zero within single quotes

'\0'

is not formatted correctly in KernelTrap.

Currently there is a "next by thread" link for sequential reading, but you have to hunt this link with your mouse each time. Would it be possible to also add this same link under the html/head section using <link rel="next" href="..."/>?

Show message-id function?

There is a function to find the specific message in KernelTrap archive if you know the message-id, but there is no reverse function: to show the message-id of a message archived in KernelTrap, in order to find the same message in another archive.

I know, I know, who would want to leave the KernelTrap archives... :)

I had never noticed this menu item before on KernelTrap. It is quite a nice feature. However, when I click "Printer friendly" version on any man page, it only renders the very bottom of the Man Page.

KernelTrap Mailing List Archives

KernelTrap now provides a useful interface for reading numerous kernel-related mailing lists. At this time, we are actively archiving multiple Linux, OpenBSD, DragonFlyBSD, FreeBSD, and NetBSD mailing lists. In addition to providing a simple online browsing interface, we also provide multiple RSS feeds for each of our archived mailing lists.

LKML interface

Hi, I find the KernelTrap's mailing list interface much cleaner than either GMANE or lkml.org; thanks for this!

What I wanted to say is, the index pages could certainly fit more messages than the current 25. Having more titles visible at once means that they can be skimmed much quicker.

Kerneltrap improvements

Jeremy, I've noticed a lot more activity on Kernel Trap these last few months. I just wanted to say thank you very much. Since the death of Kernel Traffic, you've helped fill a much needed void.

I hope the hard work you've been doing is bringing more advertising dollars your way. You certainly deserve it. :)

RSS advertisements

The addition of advertisements to the KernelTrap RSS has made them basically unusable in rss2email. Every article changes its ads every time you view the RSS page. Can you either remove the ads or ensure the story displays the same ad every time? Examples:

The KernelTrap forums have been completely restructured and simplified. There are now four main sections, Linux, BSD, KernelTrap and Other. Please update your bookmarks.

Support for tagging has also been added to the forums (as well as to blogs). Thus, when posting a new forum topic to KernelTrap it's now possible to specify a comma separated list of tags that describe your posting. Popular tags will show up in the new block in the lower right corner of the page, as well as here.

How did the site get its name?

TRAP?
Does it mean "A contrivance for catching and holding animals, as a concealed pit or a clamplike device that springs shut suddenly."?

Why do you use such a name?

Thanks a lot.

Hi everyone,

I am working on an issue where I need to see the frequency with which RPC is trying NFS
request. For that I am using printk in kernel code, but I divert my kernel messages to a file, the messages does not contain the timestamp at which they were generated.

Thanks in advance,
Adil
