Subject: What's up with CONFIG_BLK_DEV?
Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2007 15:17:28 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200708241517.28475.rob@landley.net> (raw)
CONFIG_BLOCK disables the block layer.
CONFIG_BLK_DEV disables the block devices.
Is there _ever_ a time you want the block layer but no block devices?
(I ask because this is the first time I've had to add a symbol to my User Mode
Linux miniconfig since 2.6.12, and I can't figure out what the actual purpose
of this symbol is.)
