linux-toradex.git/Documentation/aoe/mkdevs.sh, branch v2.6.37.4 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules aoe: user can ask driver to forget previously detected devices 2008-02-08T17:22:31+00:00 Ed L. Cashin ecashin@coraid.com 2008-02-08T12:20:03+00:00 262bf54144ebcb78cd0d057d2705dc5fb7bba7ac When an AoE device is detected, the kernel is informed, and a new block device is created. If the device is unused, the block device corresponding to remote device that is no longer available may be removed from the system by telling the aoe driver to "flush" its list of devices. Without this patch, software like GPFS and LVM may attempt to read from AoE devices that were discovered earlier but are no longer present, blocking until the I/O attempt times out.

I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
