Subject: [PATCH] blkgetsize64 ioctl
Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2001 18:45:20 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0108291840310.28439-100000@toomuch.toronto.redhat.com> (raw)

Hello,

The patch below reserves an ioctl for getting the size in blocks of a
device as a long long instead of long as the old ioctl did.  The patch for
this to e2fsprogs sneaked in a bit too early.  There is a conflict with
the ia64 get/set sector ioctls, but I that's less common than e2fsprogs.
