+config BLK_DEV_ABUSE + tristate "ABUSE user space block device driver" + ---help--- + This driver allows block devices to be implemented in userspace. + It is completely useless and is a massive abuse of the layering + of the kernel. Unless of course you write a userspace driver + for it, in which case you can create arbitrary block devices. + + Just don't try to swap over it. + + To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the + module will be called abuse. + + Most users will answer N here. + -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: "Hilko Bengen" <ben...@hilluzination.de> Gesendet: 14.10.2010 09:37:54 An: aoetools-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net Betreff: Re: [Aoetools-discuss] User-mode AoE initiator? >* Jeff Sturm: > >> Does a user-mode driver exist in a source tree anywhere?
