This is because you aren't looking for metafile information, you are looking for a subset and describing the subset, and that just requires a file-directory plugin that can handle the name of that subset and parse the file to find it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
