Hi,

Stephen,
Did you respond to hpa on this matter?

Not yet, I'm just catching up on festive-season email. Happy New Year, all!

[From the cc address it seems as though you
work both for transmeta as well as redhat.]

Nope, unless transmeta and red hat have been negotiating behind my back. :) The misdirected email is probably why I didn't spot this earlier.

but something like this would be more accurate:
162 char Raw block device interface

                  0 = /dev/rawctl       Raw I/O control device
                  1 = /dev/raw/raw1     First raw I/O device
                  2 = /dev/raw/raw2     Second raw I/O device
                    ...

The raw(8) command supplied in RH 6.2 and 7.0 assumes the latter structure. I have already alerted sct and this change may be coming through in one of his patches.

The latter is actually better, so I certainly don't mind. sct, should I change it?

Please do: the current util-linux should be using the new layout.

Cheers,
Stephen
