Subject: 2.4.20-pre4 + LVM = hosed /proc/partitions
Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2002 20:27:32 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020821022732.GA11503@codepoet.org> (raw)

Try compiling CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LVM into 2.4.20-pre4 and then run
'cat /proc/partitions' for some amusement. I really like the way
it prints /dev/lvmX, where X is first a-z, and then proceeds to
apparently increment X another 229 times...

    $ cat /proc/partitions | wc -l
      259

And /proc/partitions now contains only LVM entries...

 -Erik
