Subject: /proc/partitions in 2.4.20-pre3/4

Hello :)

There is something wrong with /proc/partitions. It seems that last changes
broken this file:

"cat /proc/partitions |wc -c" shows that this file has 29167 bytes. First
part of files has lot of \0 characters. With software raid enabled (not
ataraid) it has all md0 - md255 devices (and not only used devices) and
does not have informations for phisical disks (sdXX, hdXX).

Best Regards,


Krzysztof Oledzki

The fix is in -ac. Alan promised to send it for -pre3 but it seems he
didn't..
