Not thought of one good candidate yet. Hi Ming, Thanks for the info, and sorry for not noticing the fix merged on Jun, 3rd on the master branch. I will follow that branch when testing and submit fixes I find along the way. I guess you have considered a lot of names, but I'd suggest any of: * blkuser, * ublk * BUSE (as in Block FUSE, though there is another non-upstream project with that name), * UBIO (as in UIO, but for Block IO) * B2U (Block IO Backed by userspace) :-P TBH, my favorite is ublk. Thank you, -- Gabriel Krisman Bertazi
