Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2009 09:46:09 -0400 Message-Id: <1247579169-4117-1-git-send-email-john@stoffel.org> X-Mailer: git-send-email 1.6.3.3 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1419 Lines: 48 Make Block Layer SG support v4 the default, since recent udev versions depend on this to access serial numbers and other low level info properly. This should be backported to older kernels as well, since most distros have enabled this for a long time.
