Hi,
I'm currently rewritting lslk(8) from scratch so we can integrate it in
util-linux, and continue maintaining it.
In order to not break userspace, the kernel is currently exporting the
major:minor numbers of the device where the locked file resides. Could
we agree on defining WE_CAN_BREAK_LSLK_NOW and start exporting the
informational name instead?
Thanks,
Davidlohr

--disable-lslk should be enough :-)
We can support DEV column (with maj:min), but not use it on the
default output please. We have ReleaseNotes and man page where we can
describe possible differences between original and u-l version.
