I'd rather use http://hazmat.com/~targon/linux/blockstatarray-2.1.86.gz or
http://hazmat.com/~targon/blockstatdirect-2.1.86.gz.
The first one dynamically creates an array to hold the data instead of a
fixed DK_NDRIVE size array. The second one is faster in that it allocates
a larger array at startup. They both also fix the scsi/ide overlap along
with putting all the other block devices (floppy, loop, md, etc) back in
the list.
Mark Lord likes the 2nd one, I like the first.
