A block device whose driver calls register_blkdev should appear in proc/partitions, if not then I think it's a bug or a very non-standard interface. I don't know about any other cases where full /dev scan would reveal something that /proc/partitions not, so I guess it's safe to remove it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
