Hi all,

So vboxsf has finally landed upstream. I gave up getting it merged
directly under fs/vboxsf since despite some fs-devel folks saying
that it was as good as it is going to get (given the limitations
of the API exposed by the host) it seems that the fs subsys maintainers
did not have the time to take a look at it.

So I've send it to GKH for merging under drivers/staging instead
and somewhat to my surprise (not complaining) he send it in for
this cycle.

Since this upstream now; and despite being in staging has alread seen
multiple reviews, I would like to get this enabled for the Fedora 5.4
kernels so that shared-folders will just work for users running Fedora
as a VirtualBox guest.

So unless there are any objections I'm going to flip the
configs/fedora/generic/CONFIG_VBOXSF_FS file to m and enable this in rawhide
soon.

Apart from the fact it's already been enabled by Jeremy? :-P

I guess you can put me in the "no objections" camp.


Well, it was fun while it lasted. It was just pulled by Linus. I am
guessing 5.5 now.

Yes I was about to say the same thing... <sigh>

I'm afraid that it seems that the fs subsystem processes are somewhat
dysfunctional atm, which is why I went with staging. Maybe I can get
it in fs proper for 5.5, we will see.

Regards,

Hans
