Hello.
I have spent a day or two to see if we can get raw io working. I have
built a patched kernel (2.3.99-pre8, w/ SGI kiobuf-enhancement.patch).
Okay so far. I am unable to locate any specific instructions on making
the /dev/ entries for these raw io devices, but stunbled through with
mknod (i.e. mknod /dev/rawb c 8 16). Must be missing something tho...
Can't seem to get things working to these devices.
And as if that weren't enough, I was wondering if this version of rawio
is happy with LVM?
BTW, thanks for this effort. I hope the dmsdk folks and this group are
in cahoots...(can't imagine they aren't)...
Heres to hoping we can make this all work.
Kipp
