Red Hat is also very interested in this work being that this support is in both Fedora and upcoming RHEL releases... I must admin I just don't understand what there is *any* push back on a feature that would dramatically increase the I/O speed of NFS. That would be good for the *entire* Linux community... IMHO. I'm coming to the party late... So is the only sticking point is to have this vfs call write to a different filesystem, correct? Why? (please point to a email that already explains it) Does that break some type of boundary or is it because it was never needed before?? Again, looking at the big picture... Allowing NFS to copy files by only sending meta-data is HUGE! It is such a win for the entire community so I'm so surprise this community is not trying to help the process instead of push it back. my two cents, steved.
