Problem with latest kernel
Hello,
If you use the latest version of Acronis on linuw with latest kernel (>3.7), the module snapapi26 will not load correctly with saying a problem with kernel_thread.
The problem is that kernel_thread not exist anymore.
I've created a patch to avoid this problem. Maybe this patch is not correct but it works.
For Acronis, when will you release a new version for latest kernel ?
Thanks.
Regards,
Alessandro
