Hello Thomas and others,

I have interrest to test that enhancement after I get my
port of MMC/SD driver completed and fully stabilized.
I have still some problems that SDHC timeouts on some
commands after longer extensive use in DMA driven mode.
CPU driven transfers works fine, but I do not like CPU
high utilization.

I have one question related to RTEMS block devices.

I observe, that rtems_io_register_name() reports "too many"
in RTEMS-051009 checkout during my driver registration.
Base filesystem holding /dev entry is full version of IMFS.

The message is not fatal, the device node is populated in fact correctly
and subsequent operations works well. But it is not elegant to ignore
this status report.

Have you some idea, what could be cause of the problem?

Thanks a successful year 2006 wishes
