Since there are many userspace tools using information\nfrom /proc/partitions some of them may now behave incorrectly (I didn\u0027t\ntested any though). For example before 2.6.25 /proc/partitions was empty\nif no block devices like hard disks and such were detected by kernel. Now\nall 16 ramdisks are always visible there. Some software may rely on such\ninformation (I mean, on empty /proc/partitions).\n\nThere was quite similar situation back in 2004, and ramdisks were excluded\nback from displaying.
