Message-ID: <3A51FF83.E8B5151A@interlog.com> (raw)
While on this subject, the description of raw devices
(char 162) in lk 2.4 is not consistent with current
usage.
devices.txt contains this:
162 char Raw block device interface
0 = /dev/raw Raw I/O control device
1 = /dev/raw1 First raw I/O device
2 = /dev/raw2 Second raw I/O device
...
but something like this would be more accurate:
162 char Raw block device interface
0 = /dev/rawctl Raw I/O control device
1 = /dev/raw/raw1 First raw I/O device
2 = /dev/raw/raw2 Second raw I/O device
...
The raw(8) command supplied in RH 6.2 and 7.0 assumes the
latter structure. I have already alerted sct and this
change may be coming through in one of his patches.
