Subject: What's the status of 32 bit dev_t?
Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2002 15:06:24 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200210251506.24743.landley@trommello.org> (raw)
Alan said that 32 bit dev_t was one of the most important remaining new
features, but I haven't seen a patch submitted for inclusion. Closest
anybody's been able to dredge up is an old plan from Al Viro, which lwn.net
linked to here:
http://lwn.net/Articles/11583/
Is this a 2.5.45 thing? Could it possibly go in after the feature freeze
(I.E. without any API changes)? Is it now deferred until the next
development cycle? Is there, in point of fact, a patch against 2.5.44?
Rob
