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
