Definitely. We're talking about _removing_ the nfsroot stuff that Anthony refers to, in fact, on the basis that it can be done within an initrd and doesn't have to live in the kernel. Mount by UUID for other file systems is already handled by initrd; the kernel can't do it for itself. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre [email protected] Intel Corporation -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
