And the one I would suggest and highly recommend. If they've already written a FSAL it should be easy to add it to the nfs-ganesha source. Depending on the license of course. > 3.

(The last thread I saw in the NFS Ganesha > devel list on this subject was six years old) That would be a non-trivial amount of work with little benefit to the current FSAL developers. It's not an unreasonable request, per se, but we have other, higher priorities. > 4. ??? > > Any advice would be great, as I'd love to get this feature into > Fedora's release of LizardFS. Do you have a contact for someone at LizardFS? I looked at their web site and nothing popped out at me. -- Kaleb _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
