But for now, please please please can we revert the change which made 'queue' appear in md and dm devices, (and loop and ...) and put these generic values somewhere ... generic?No we cannot, not without a time machine. 2.6.30 is released, so it's too late to revert things like that, even if we wanted.Drat... for some reason I was thinking that it only came in in 2.6.31-rc. However it is only documented in ABI/testing, not ABI/stable ... if there is any value in that distinction, then it should be possible to move it??
No, wait. I was right. The addition of 'queue' to md/dm devices happened post-2.6.30. So are the additions of physical_block_size etc. So there is still time to put these in a properly generic place. Do you have a good reason for them going in /queue? NeilBrown
