I notice you removed my UML hacks... Why? I just don't get one thing. This is almost a duplicate of cramfs-block. Why would we prefer a fork with a lot of code duplication to adding a couple alternate code paths in cramfs-block? Also keep in mind there are several reasons why you might want to have block access to to a XIP built cramfs image. I am unpersuaded that this fork approach is fundamentally better. - 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/
