The fs/Kconfig hunk might be a nice place to define it, since naive users might see that text when configuring kernels. http://www.kernelnewbies.org/glossary/#R does define it, but it's so far down on http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Aras that most people configuring a kernel might not be familiar with that sense. - Dan -- My technical stuff: http://kegel.com My politics: see http://www.misleader.org for examples of why I'm for regime change
