Bummer, I saw your patch before, but I never noticed the `default y if M68K'.
Can you please tell me on which platforms SYSV68 partition tables are commonly
used (I guess the Motorola MVME boards?), so we can enable it by default on a
The Motorola VME boards are the only ones I am aware of. I must also add
that the partitions themselves are sysv partitions.
more sensible subset of M68K?
Feel free to replace or suppress the `default' directive. I actually wrote
that for a i586 laptop to access/reinstall disks of sysV68 machines using
a USB/SCSI adapter, but I don't think `default y' is a good idea :).
What do you think of
`default y if VME'
or
`default y if M68K && SYSV_FS'
I prefer `default y if VME'.
BTW, perhaps PPC based Motorola MVME boards use SYSV68 partition tables,
too?
