Dear Mike Frysinger,
In message 200812111503.54148.vapier@gentoo.org you wrote:
it's already standard behavior with most mass storage things (like mmc and sf and ...), so it isnt a big deal imo. i asked if Wolfgang wanted it automated and he preferred making the user do it themselves.
That's a misunderstanding, or my fingers typed without consulting the brain. Sorry.
What I mean is: storage devices should auto-initialize when first used (like for example Ethernet does, too), but an explicit "init" sub-command should be also available, so the user can re-initialize the system if he likes.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
