Yet another one of those "it would make sense it" posts. Currently, create_dev in do_mounts.c simply unlinks the device and recreates it. This doesn't seem right. If /dev/hda3 has already been created, by some early-userspace app (udev), there's no need to unlink or even parse the name again. Now, when talking about simple block devices, this doesn't make much of a

This patch series allows user-specified mount commands to be sent in via kernel command line ("kinit_mount=...") or via an embedded /etc/fstab file. The first patch is a cleanup of a patch sent last November by San Mehat (http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/EazJNBMORV2U7E0coh5h); the next two are small improvements or bug fixes.

The attached patch breaks out the /dev/root device node creation from do_mounts, placing it in it's own utility (called mkrootdev). This is worthwhile, as certain setups will need the device node there to run fstype and load a proper module (or other things). No, it does not currently configure raid devices.... I didn't know if that made sense in there or not.... Let me know what you

Various coding style fixes checkpatch warns about. The goal is not to be 100% checkpatch compliant, but to have more consistent coding style. As this is a trivial patch serie, will land in 24 hours in klibc git, unless of course ml review hits a bugger. Checked with size(3) that the generated kinit, fstype, ipconfig and nfsmount are the same. maximilian attems (4): [klibc] ipconfig: reduce

The following patchset implements 3 seperate series of changes. External Building ================= Patches 1 through 8 enable to use of klibc's build system while leaving the src tree pristine (and potentially read only). Specifically: - srctree=<Sources for klibc> - objtree=<Ouput directory for klibc> - KLIBCKERNELSRC=<Kernel sources> - KLIBCKERNELOBJ=<Kernel

This patch removes support for use of NFS as a root filesystem from the kernel. It also updates the documentation to reflect this. b/Documentation/nfsroot.txt | 97 +++--- b/arch/arm/def-configs/a5k | 1 b/arch/arm/def-configs/adi_evb | 1 b/arch/arm/def-configs/adsbitsy | 1 b/arch/arm/def-configs/anakin | 1
