Definitely, it'd be nice to have it be searchable. That's half the utility of an archive... I'll see if I can get mail-archive.com setup. -- Jens Axboe

What I tried yesterday morning was to look up a linux-block message by searching for its contents with a web search engine. That search did not yield any results. Does this mean that messages on marc.info are not indexed by Google? Is this a sufficient reason to let an additional web site archive the linux-block messages? Thanks, Bart.
Archiving linux-block
Hello, Since gmane.org is no longer operational linux-block messages are no longer archived. I think it's useful to archive linux-block messages because it makes it possible to review past discussions, especially for people who are not subscribed to the list. How about activating archival by mail-archive.com and spinics.net? As far as I know this can only be done by someone who is list administrator. But I don't know who the linux-block list administrator(s) are? Thanks, Bart.
