Subject: Block devices
Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2008 02:05:52 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47BD22D0.9060008@dlasys.net> (raw)
Sometime recently it seems to have become possible to disable the
whole block device subsystem.
Though in my tests I can't quit build with it disabled.
Anyway, for an embedded device this might be appealing.
how does this interact with initramfs and flash ?
Can I boot an initramfs kernel without a block device ?
Can I write a filesystem driver for a flash device that does not
require a block device ?
Are their any examples of something even close ?
