Re: [Devil-linux-develop] e2fsprogs patches to compile actual sources kernel 2.6

[Oliver J. <oli...@mo...>]

The problem was, that SCSI_DISK_MAJOR didn't exists any more... 
and when you look on it... but i will look if i find an official 
patch of it... 

if you look what it does, its only a check if its the full device
or not... and the pach removes the check if its a disk or cdrom, now it
works for all scsi devices.. have fun to use e2fs on a tape ;-)

try to compile to original packages with includes 2.6 and you will see
the problem... 

there are other packages  make also a lot of problems... because they
are not ported to 2.6 and the includes have changed....
