You don't have to worry about this message - everthing will work as before even with this warning. You just don't get the extra feature of not trashing your buffer caches when recording a movie or when viewing a stored one.

To have an advantage of this new feature you will have to get a newer glibc and maybe a newer kernel. But sorry - no idea when they started to fully support posix_fadvise().

I'm not worried about the message but about the fact that the feature doesn't work on my system :(

As far as I see, no 2.4.x kernel support the necessary syscall.
