Hi Al, I've been trying to get the vboxsf fs code upstream for 1.5 years now, it seems (to me) that the main problem is that no-one has time to review it. You're reviewed it a couple of times and David Howells has reviewed it 2 times. Al reviews have lead to various improvments and have definitely been useful, so thank you for that. But ATM, since posting v12 of the patch, it has again been quiet for 2 months again. Since this driver is already being used as addon / our of tree driver by various distros, I would really like to get it into mainline, to make live easier for distros and to make sure that they use the latest version. Since I do not see the lack of reviewing capacity problem get solved anytime soon, I was wondering if you are ok with putting the code in drivers/staging/vboxsf for now, until someone can review it and ack it for moving over to sf/vboxsf ? Regards, Hans
