[SSI-devel] Re: root failover

[Karl M. <km...@gm...>]

Brian and Roger,
The last sentence in Brian's e-mail " All that Karl needs to do is merge th=
e more recent changes"  is exactly what I am doing.  Initially all I am goi=
ng to do is get all of the udev functionality operational then move onto dr=
bd, lvm, iscsi etc. =20

I have gotten at least a workable merge of the mount.c done.  Mkinitrd is m=
ore complicated so I am starting with just making sure that the udev stuff =
in there works first.=20
=20
  Thanks for the help.

That wasn't my understanding. I thought that En Chiang and Bharata
  already merged a previous version of the OpenSSI code into the
OPENSSI-SU mount.c. All that Karl needs to do is merge the more recent
changes from the OPENSSI-FC branch.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, Karl.
