2019-07-15T12:20:27+00:00

Rename the block documentation files to ReST, add an index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html output via the Sphinx build system. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

[PATCH] Document online io scheduler switching

2006-04-20T11:04:36+00:00
