This only applies to a corner case where the file system wants to use the block device name as a pathname. In any other case, interpreting the / as a path separator would be the correct behavior. While a helper function/macro may be appropriate, I don't think the VFS has any business interpreting names automatically like that. As stated before numerous times by both Andrew and myself, the correct solution is to eliminate / from block device names. This patch was a band-aid until that's done. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEu7VNLPWxlyuTD7IRAinwAJ43vf+NHkI/U/sA743174o68xw5UQCfaL1z N367ixvf/HeQuWHZH0CkjVY= =4+dh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
