a simple question. Are libata and klibc user-space libraries? The 'lib'-prefix of libata seems to suggest this is userspace library, but I have seen some kernel patch for it. The 'k'-prefix of klibc seems to suggest this is a kernelspace thing.. But... a libc for kernel? isn't that bloat? -- -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
