Hi Keith,
Currently at unmount time shrink_dcache() is called, and the inodes for
the device are invalidated. My patch doesn't change any of this policy;
it just allows shrinking only the dcache for the particular device.
I'm not sure what is done at remount time, so I'll have to look into
that. But I agree with you that it would be safer to invalidate all
inodes if the media might have changed.
Regards,
Bill
