- Hi,
- I think that this patch is not a good idea, because if an extended file
- system tells mint via _drvbits that there is a new drive, it should support
- an rwabs, getbpb and mediach function which returns the proper values
- when called with the new drive. At least this is what Eric told me.
- (Please look at the minix fs sources to see what I mean)
- BTW: I am working on a way to install an XFS without installing a new
- drive simply by doing a Dcntl() on drive u:, but that has to be discussed
- with Eric, so we have to wait for him.
-
- Regards,
- Ulrich
