Hi linux-kernel. Congratulations to all of you. The Linux sourcecode, in addition to being Linux, is just a pleasure to look at.
I made a 2.88 meg broot floppy for a PS2 2.88 meg floppy drive ( with the MCA patch of course). One snag along the way was the rd_size = 4096; in drivers/block/rd.c . I cavalierly changed this to 8192, and I don't think anything broke.
This suggests that the 4096 is kinda arbitrary, and perhaps a bit small for 1998. I would suggest also adding the word "maximum" or something to the related printk.
