Hi guys, I've had this patch sitting on my disk for a few months, and haven't done anything more than test it. Before I stuff it into git, and send it to the kernel, would you guys have a look over it and see whether it's technically correct. The patch simply causes a kobject "change" event to be emitted on devmapper block devices when they are renamed. Scott -- Scott James Remnant scott@xxxxxxxxxx
