1) unionfs-1.0.14 doesn't compile with linux-2.6.16 due to conversion of semaphores to mutexes. While I can patch it, it isn't sane to stick with the old version of unionfs forever. It is not known if a newer version is good, and there was no good-out-of-the box version of unionfs in the past. Is it acceptable to merge DM to the udev_update branch?
Yes.
(or the final version when it comes out). The effect of this patch is that all IDE and SATA devices become supported by libata, thus removing the conflict if one removes all old IDE drivers from the kernel configuration. As a side sffect, IDE disks become renamed from /dev/hdX to /dev/sdX. Is this acceptable?
I think so, but only if we thoroughly document this behavior and the reasons for it on the CD itself. Details should appear in the README, and perhaps a very brief note (if we can think of one that's adequate) in the greeting.
