Subject: [PATCH 002 of 9] md: Skip all metadata update processing when using external metadata.
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:34:54 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1080429033454.20325@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20080429133104.20146.patches@notabene
All the metadata update processing for external metadata is on
in user-space or through the sysfs interfaces, so make "md_update_sb"
a no-op in that case.
