The cowloop driver shields the lower driver from any write accesses. Instead, it diverts all write-accesses to an arbitrary regular file." regards Roland ps: I`m not directly involved in development - i just came across that site some time ago and thought it was worth being mentioned here. (didn`t find a reference in the ML archive) - 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/
