I seriously can't tell if you're deliberately trying to be difficult or not. It's a simple "replace / with ! before sending the name to procfs." Reiserfs requests that a procfs directory called /proc/fs/reiserfs/<blockdev> be created. Some block devices contain slashes, so with cciss/c123 it attempts to create a directory called /proc/fs/reiserfs/cciss/c123, but cciss/ doesn't exist, shouldn't, and never will. In order to create a single path component, "cciss/c123" becomes "cciss!c123." This is consistent with how sysfs does it now. For a real example, change the "-" in device mapper block names to "/" and see what happens. Regardless, it's already been checked into mainline as change 6fbe82a952790c634ea6035c223a01a81377daf1. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEu6TPLPWxlyuTD7IRAvFTAJ9MYmmhSljmJTYFFlQvwS1G5AWdWQCglN0u FCxA4sTIi/O5KRsZ38vzT1c= =M7gO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
