[PATCH] mutliple root devs (take II)

,/dev/hdc,/dev/hda7 will try each device in order. You can also split these up into separate root= statements just fine. please be sure to directly address me with any feedback as I'm not on the list. (I miss linux-kernel-digest). t. camp --snip-- diff --recursive --unified --ignore-all-space

indeed, much cleaner. But still not perfect. + int root_device_index = 0; this initialisation is not needed. Just make it 'int root_device_index;' The kernel will do the right thing for you on boot, trust me. +int number_root_devs = 0; this is not needed either. Hmm didn't know

Re: [PATCH] mutliple root devs (take II)

Hmmm, I don't like your array thing (also in v.I of the patch), limiting us to n possible root devices, where n==8. A better approach might be to iterate over the root= arguments when mounting. I know why you used the array -- easier to code. I was unsure if it was okay to be using kmalloc
