Now that Al has not yet told me what is wrong with the
device handling scheme outlined, let me do something else
instead and remove some of the backlog for util-linux.
Just released util-linux-2.11n in the usual places.
l-k relevance: blockdev has a --report option as announced
Very off-topic: FSF promotes free software, but produces
message translation files with header
# Copyright (C) 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
and without any indication that these files can be freely
modified and distributed. No GPL or anything. Very unfree.
This is the reason that there still is no up-to-date set
of French messages.

Ask RMS... and he is likely to fix that.

Isn't this second one redundant?

I think it works (but have not tried).
For docs, see ftp.cwi.nl under ~aeb/manpages or so.
[ftp.win.tue.nl is being reorganised, and ftp.kernel.org is down,
so I made ftp.cwi.nl a temporary repository for man pages]

ObMount: now that MS_MOVE is in 2.5 (and submitted for merge in 2.4)
mount --move <oldpath> <newpath> would be nice...
Effect of mount(old, new, NULL, MS_MOVE, NULL): subtree mounted at
"old" is taken to "new". Move is atomic and takes all references
to objects in a subtree with it - opened files, current directories,
etc. Requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
Errors:
requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN (EPERM)
old and new must exist (ENOENT)
old must be a mountpoint (EINVAL)
new must not be a descendent of old (ELOOP)
old must not be the absolute root (EINVAL)
if old is directory new must be a directory and vice versa (EINVAL)
+ usual set of errors from lookups for old and new (EFAULT if either
is not a valid address, ENOTDIR if component in the middle is not a
directory, ELOOP if too many links, EACCES if no execute permissions
on some component in the middle, ENOMEM if someone's out of memory, EIO
if fs feels like that, etc. - the usual)

I did. You may well be right. We'll see.
