Subject: Re: [PATCH] btrfs-progs: create helper function to use lblkid to scan for btrfs disks
Date: Sat, 28 Sep 2013 00:10:36 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5245ADFC.2090706@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1380296700-7232-1-git-send-email-anand.jain@oracle.com>
Following this patch the idea is to use lblkid to scan
for the btrfs disks by default which means we don't
use BTRFS_SCAN_PROC any more.
which implies commands btrfs filesystem show and btrfs device scan will
use lblkid to scan disks instead of current /proc/partitions
by default.
So now the question is, if there is any need to have option to scan
using /proc/partitions ? and instead of removing it completely
would we need it under a new option '-p' (in filesystem show and
device scan) so that user can use /proc/partitions when needed,
I really don't know what would be that circumstance though,
Any thoughts?
Thanks Anand
