I was wanting to stick with drivers to start with, but I really have no objection to adding filesystems, if they are self-contained, to the drivers/staging/ directory. I looked at adding squashfs, but at the time, it touched other portions of the kernel which wouldn't have made it a good canidate for staging. This was later resolved, and now that it is merged, it's a moot issue :) So, if anyone wants to send me filesystems, I'll be glad to take them into drivers/staging, as long as they are self-contained (novfs for example would fit this category.) thanks, greg k-h -- 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
