| |
So, what could be said is that the sard (which IS in 2.4.19-per1-ac2) has features: - all devices available (not only major < 16) - stat struct is in the request_queue, not in kstat anymore - All structs are dynamic, no static allocation of per-device structs. So, it's all we need.
The only drawback is: - infos are in /proc/partitions not in /proc/stat (some apps get infos there...)
Right? -jec
PS: When will it be in official tree? An idea?
