|

Changes for patch v2
|
10 |
|
|
|
11 |
|
|
- bug fix with manual inode creation
|
12 |
|
|
===============================================================================
|
13 |
|
|
Changes for patch v3
|
14 |
|
|
|
15 |
|
|
- bugfixes
|
16 |
|
|
|
17 |
|
|
- documentation improvements
|
18 |
|
|
|
19 |
|
|
- created a couple of scripts (one to save&restore a devfs and the
|
20 |
|
|
other to set up compatibility symlinks)
|
21 |
|
|
|
22 |
|
|
- devfs support for SCSI discs. New name format is: sd_hHcCiIlL
|
23 |
|
|
===============================================================================
|
24 |
|
|
Changes for patch v4
|
25 |
|
|
|
26 |
|
|
- bugfix for the directory reading code
|
27 |
|
|
|
28 |
|
|
- bugfix for compilation with kerneld
|
29 |
|
|
|
30 |
|
|
- devfs support for generic hard discs
|
31 |
|
|
|
32 |
|
|
- rationalisation of the various watchdog drivers
|
33 |
|
|
===============================================================================
|
34 |
|
|
Changes for patch v5
|
35 |
|
|
|
36 |
|
|
- support for mounting directly from entries in the devfs (it doesn't
|
37 |
|
|
need to be mounted to do this), including the root filesystem.
|
38 |
|
|
Mounting of swap partitions also works. Hence, now if you set
|
39 |
|
|
CONFIG_DEVFS_ONLY to 'Y' then you won't be able to access your discs
|
40 |
|
|
via ordinary device nodes. Naturally, the default is 'N' so that you
|
41 |
|
|
can still use your old device nodes. If you want to mount from devfs
|
42 |
|
|
entries, make sure you use: append = "root=/dev/sd_..." in your
|
43 |
|
|
lilo.conf. It seems LILO looks for the device number (major&minor)
|
44 |
|
|
and writes that into the kernel image :-(
|
45 |
|
|
|
46 |
|
|
- support for character memory devices (/dev/null, /dev/zero, /dev/full
|
47 |
|
|
and so on). Thanks to C. Scott Ananian
|

|
|
|
51 |
|
|
- support for subdirectories
|
52 |
|
|
|
53 |
|
|
- support for symbolic links (created by devfs_mk_symlink(), no
|
54 |
|
|
support yet for creation via symlink(2))
|
55 |
|
|
|
56 |
|
|
- SCSI disc naming now cast in stone, with the format:
|
57 |
|
|
/dev/sd/c0b1t2u3 controller=0, bus=1, ID=2, LUN=3, whole disc
|
58 |
|
|
/dev/sd/c0b1t2u3p4 controller=0, bus=1, ID=2, LUN=3, 4th partition
