What I am proposing was generally agreed upon to be a reasonable default in this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org/msg07295.html Furthermore RHEL 6.4 has started to use this naming scheme in their rdma start up script as was proposed and agreed upon by Doug Ledford in this thread: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org/msg11282.html > > Also, in order to support such installations, whether or not to use this > format > should be configurable. It is configurable. You can overwrite the node_desc field anyway you want just as before and no current user space software needs to change if a user has customizations there. What is nice about this addition is that _if_ the user does _not_ have customizations the defaults are, IMHO, much more usable "by default". -- Ira -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
