By the way, I'm keeping updated versions of this patch series in the server-cluster-locking-api branch of the repository at git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux.git. So if you already have a git tree sitting around (cloned with something like "git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git") They you should be able to get this with git fetch git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux.git +server-cluster-locking-api:server-cluster-locking-api git checkout server-cluster-locking-api Alternatively you can browse the patches without git from http://linux-nfs.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=bfields-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=server-cluster-locking-api --b. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
