I'll see what Jens has to say about the name. CDC_MOPTICAL looks ugly to me, and CDC_MO too short. Maybe CDC_MO_DRIVE would work if CDC_OPTICAL is not acceptable. -- Ciao, Pascal ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

But basically I don't really care, I think it's pretty clear even if named CDC_OPTICAL. -- Jens Axboe ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
