Re: [PATCH] improve device probing heuristics

[Andrew Clausen]

Hi Andreas,

Your patch looks sane, but I think this is
getting out of hand.

In 2.5.x, can we have something like
/dev/block-devices/*, which are symlinks
back into /dev/ide/...?

Or perhaps we should be using your
libblkid?  (the /dev approach isn't
suitable for iSCSI, for example...)

However, there are a few differences.  We are
only interested in "low-level" devices.
Perhaps liblkid can keep a flag, and provide
some nice interface for finding low-level
devices?

Thanks,
Andrew
