Well.. why? Presumably this patch fixes some race. A good description of that race would be useful - partly because others may then be able to suggest alternative ways of fixing that bug. I'll merge these patches for some testing. I did merge these patches three weekes ago: fat-modify-nfs-mount-option.patch fat-exportfs-rebuild-inode-if-ilookup-fails.patch fat-exportfs-rebuild-inode-if-ilookup-fails-fix.patch fat-exportfs-rebuild-directory-inode-if-fat_dget-fails.patch documentation-update-nfs-option-in-filesystem-vfattxt.patch But I have no record of Bruce or Ogawa having reviewed/acked them? -- 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
