Hi Linus, [copy sent to Linus with inline patch] Please can you apply the following patch to 2.5.24. It's a complete rewrite of the LDM driver (support for Windows Dynamic Disks). Below is a one line summary, a full description and the patch. LDM Driver rewritten. More efficient. Much smaller memory footprint. The old driver was little more than a stopgap. The new driver is a complete rewrite based on a much better understanding of the database based on much more reverse engineering more able to spot errors and inconsistancies it has a much smaller memory footprint no longer considered experimental accompanied by brief info: Documentation/ldm.txt Documentation/00-INDEX | 2 Documentation/ldm.txt | 102 ++ fs/partitions/Config.help | 5 fs/partitions/Config.in | 2 fs/partitions/ldm.c | 2220 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- fs/partitions/ldm.h | 206 ++-- http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/ldm/linux-2.5.24-ldm.gz Cheers, FlatCap - Richard Russon ldm@flatcap.org - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
