How does, for instance, libscg make sure that the b,t,l mappings are hotplug invariant? How does libscg make sure that two external writers, say USB, retain their b,t,l mappings if both are unplugged and then replugged in reverse order, perhaps into different USB hubs? What assumptions does libscg (or cdrecord) make to procure stable mappings? You complained the discussion were non-technical, yet rather than correcting false information at detail scale, you resort to personal insults, and I think you're standing on pretty thin ice with those attacks. Your credibility is about to reach zero. -- Matthias Andree - 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/
