This is good news indeed - I look forward to that. In the meantime I'll just maintain them manually. I have been testing the patches in the last few days and have not yet experienced a single problem - quite an evolution since the RHEL5 version! I have been testing a "live" Linux USB stick distro that we intend to give to employees who are working from home (VPN). They put the USB stick in their Windows or Mac PCs and it boots up an environment identical to the Linux setup in the office. All our NFS (automount) maps are accessible and fscache stores data on the USB stick. In tests this has been working great and is a very useful way of teleworking. We are quite interested in the Lustre client too because this will potentially allow us to re-export a locally cached Lustre filesystem over NFS which can in turn be accessed by a small office of workers halfway around the world. A form of tiered storage that helps with WAN type applications. Pity NFS can't re-export NFS..... Thanks again for the great code.
