We have partitions that are perfectly fine for that. If you really don't are about persistance of your partitioning you can just set up a device mapper table. No need to reinvent the wheel. > Also with the modprob pmem map= I was supporting a PCIE memory card but > I guess I need to throw this one out the door. Send it my way to support it properly... Just like any other PCIe device it should have a proper driver. For now it can register a pmem platform device, but when you submit it I'd rather add slightly more low-level versions of pmem_probe and pmem_remove that take a struct device * and possibly a resource structure so that you can directly call into it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
