i've downloaded the kernel from the getting started guide:
git://evilpiepirate.org/~kent/linux-bcache.git (i did a git clone)
how exactly do i make a patch for 2.6.38.4? i'm a git virgin...
i tried the 2.6.35-rc3 patch and fixed one problem but got stuck at
a weird multiply define symbol error. details on request.
thanks and looking forward to using bcache.

well, less of a git virgin now...
git clone git://evilpiepirate.org/~kent/linux-bcache.git
git clone
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
linux-2.6
cd linux-2.6
git checkout -b 2.6.35 v2.6.35
cd ..
git diff linux-2.6 linux-bcache > patch
clone takes a very long time (both clone commands result in full kernel
source trees)
i had to hand edit the patch to remove all the diffs for .git related
stuff
i am certain there is a better way but this did result in a patch :-)
according to bcache's Makefile it's only been ported to 2.6.35
hth
