Subject: [PATCH] Fix block device symlink name
Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 15:16:51 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060410151651.01fd6167.sfr@canb.auug.org.au> (raw)
As noted further on the this file, some block devices have a / in their
name, so fix the "block:..." symlink name the same as the /sys/block name.
(code and comment copied from below)
