#1 MTRSV/MTRLS ioctl

[Anonymous]

It would be nice if OpenVault could reserve and release
drives as needed using the MTRSV/MTRLS ioctls in Irix.
We need to share our library between applications that
does not run with OpenVault (such as ADSM) and the
capability to share drives would be welcome.

I guess the MLM would have to be modified to ask the
DCP to reserve a drive before a mount command is sent
to the LCP, and conversely release the drive after
an unmount command is sent.

I'd be willing to take a stab at implementing it
depending on wether you think it is a bad idea or
not and what your preferred solution would look like
conceptually.
