Subject: [PATCH 6/8] aoe: make error messages more specific in static minor allocation
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2012 20:04:16 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <af9b4b40f3d60914f463599ef1d0ee9c9bdbfb01.1353518444.git.ecashin@coraid.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1353518444.git.ecashin@coraid.com>

For some special-purpose systems where udev isn't present, static
allocation of minor numbers is desirable.  This update
distinguishes different failure scenarios, to help the user
understand what went wrong.
