I can probably do this early next week. If that's not soon enough, I won't be offended if you or someone else does the update. I agree, it seems like we're pretty close to consensus. > If not, I can take over for you and take over the care and feeding of > this patchset so it can get pushed to Linus ASAP; I think we are > pretty close to consensus on this interface, and I'd rather that we > not lose momentum. Why not let this sit in -mm for a cycle? I know how that sounds, considering how long it's taken everyone to decide what color to paint the bicycle shed, but at the least it'd give other file systems a chance to write their own support patches. There's also the benefit of a little extra time for ext4/ocfs2 to debug their own support patches. Do we lose any momentum if the patches are 'complete' and in -mm with a target for 2.6.29? --Mark -- Mark Fasheh -- 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
