Device mapper is not new. It is used when there needs to be something in place between the device node and the actual device (i.e. encryption). LVM and encrypted root devices both used device-mapper. It's built as a module for the same reason everything else is built as a module - it's not needed all the time. I think the lilo support for device mapper is what is actually new. Either way, it looks as though the original output was harmless (it still generates all the mappings, then mentions a "warning"). _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
