But still, why would someone need that "lib", > which is usually only build to create a static vol_id? Just for arguments sake, you could statically link libvolume_id.a into HAL or util-linux or anyone else that wants to use libvolume_id. However, I'd say that if someone has a special need like that then they can certainly copy libvolume_id.a manually to $libdir. -- Dan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
