Then move ORE _out_ of MISC_FILESYSTEMS.

The solution I proposed didn't involve having the user select anything other than NFSv4.1 and possibly ASYNC_XOR. > And anyway the current Kernel rule is that a user of a library > needs to select it and all it's dependencies, because select > is not recursive.

I dont' _want_ these selects anywhere in the NFS subsystem. -- Trond Myklebust Linux NFS client maintainer NetApp Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx www.netapp.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
