Replace them with `!' instead. No > clue why, nobody tells me anything. Take a look at /sys/block/ and you'll see - when we register disks, we mangle the disk names that contain slashes (e.g. cciss/c0d0) replacing them with '!' in corresponding sysfs names. So name_to_dev_t() should mangle the name in the same way before looking for it in /sys/block. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
