Thanks for working on these patches, but I really prefer that we do these scans from userspace. I know it introduces a few problems, but it also solves a lot of complexity at the same time. And udev already has most of the info we need, so I think our time is best spent fixing any problems with the udev integration. -chris -- 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
