Hi,
I use 2.4.19-pre2-ac4.
2 questions:
- Either MD Raid ot LVM IO devices are not accounted in /proc/partitions IO data. Is it normal?
- Are the new /proc/partitions IO stats integrated in 2.4.19-pre3?

Bye

If we're adding fields to /proc/partitions, I would like to *strongly* recommend that /proc/partitions adds the following information:

offset and length
parent device (if applicable)

The latter could also be used to identify parallelizable devices (spindles) for things like fsck.

I had a patch for this already. I can update it and resend if the powers that be want it. Just let me know...
