In fact, you can do this for all your partitions to keep from failures if your device names shuffle (basically where e2label wont let you label). Separately its also good for rawdevices. Hotplug wise, I think it is also valuable especially if you hotplug various storage types. As for driverfs, which I haven't really worked with, I figured I could start using that directly for the UUIDs instead of the methods that are currently being used (scsi inquiries, /proc/ide/hd#/identify) gary -----Original Message----- From: Greg KH [mailto:greg@kroah.com] Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 6:27 PM To: Gary_Lerhaupt@exchange.dell.com Cc: Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: Did you try devlabel On Thu, Sep 12, 2002 at 06:21:11PM -0500, Gary_Lerhaupt@Dell.com wrote: > No, ide and scsi based (scsi, usb, firewire, etc).

Have you thought about how this will interact with driverfs in 2.5? Other than that, it looks ok to me, but I really don't have a need for it, do others? thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
