I tried to do that a while ago, when I was trying to use it for name_to_dev_t()ing in swsusp somewhere.
From my notes at the time:
a) It barfs if /sys is already mounted.
b) Fix that, mkdir and mount barf because it needs set_fs(KERNEL_DS)
c) Fix that, it barfs because name_to_dev_t is just broken. It is accessing the wrong pathnames in /sys.
I think it needs a bit of help. - 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/
