The only problem that I can see is that the blk_sizes is an array with the one dimention being the major and the other the minor device number. This is probably a waist of data segment in the case of ELKS. That is the only reason I can see, that made the developers comment out the source the blk_sizes references.=20 Harry - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-8086" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
