Hi,
I was investigating redundant path failover with FibreChannel disk devices
during the last weeks. The idea is to use a second, redundant path to a
storage device when the first one fails. Ideally one could also implement
load balancing with these paths.
The problem is really important whe

You can switch them around, and it still knows which drive holds which RAID

OK, just correct me if I get this wrong, but this code is taking the LAST 2
characters of the device name and verifying that it is "cd". Which would
mean that the standard states that "/dev/ginsucd" would be a CD-ROM drive?
That is why I feel a "name" of a device handle shouldnt set how a driver

Hi Alan,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I wonder if DFI has a bios or chipset patch available and whether that would
help ?
Maybe disabling the VIA chipset support in the kernel and running generic

Keep up the good work anyways !

And then there are layering technologies like LVM and loopback.
They should be included in a discovery, but if you limit yourself
to one "device type", there's n
The main features of 2.2.20pre2aa1 are:
o Support for 4Gigabyte of RAM on IA32 (me and Gerhard Wichert)
o Support for 2T of RAM on alpha (me)
o RAW-IO (doable with bigmem enabled too). Improvements are also been
backported from 2.4.
o SMP scheduler improvements. (m

It still frosts my shorts that DRM (e.g. /dev/dri/card0) doesn't use
write(). It's a natural way t

I think you're right on both counts, but

No. We are talking about a fbdev filesystem versus what we have now.

Hi there,
in fact I had the same problem with ide-scsi that you mentioned.
I also tried the kernel version 2.4.4 but it did not solve the problem.
I have a CD-RW drive (/dev/hdd resp. /dev/sr1) that was fully functional even
in ide-scsi mode. I also have a CD-ROM drive (/dev/hdb resp. /dev/sr0)
