Subject: PATCH] linux-2.5.24 - LDM (Dynamic Disks)
Date: 24 Jun 2002 00:57:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1024876637.20371.37.camel@whiskey.something.uk.com> (raw)

Hi Linus,

[copy sent to Linus with inline patch]

Please can you apply the following patch to 2.5.24.

It's a complete rewrite of the LDM driver (support for Windows Dynamic
Disks).  Below is a one line summary, a full description and the patch.


LDM Driver rewritten.  More efficient.  Much smaller memory footprint.


The old driver was little more than a stopgap.
The new driver is a complete rewrite
based on a much better understanding of the database
based on much more reverse engineering
more able to spot errors and inconsistancies
it has a much smaller memory footprint
no longer considered experimental
accompanied by brief info: Documentation/ldm.txt
