Local filesystems don't need support from the filesystem itself; the only modifications necessary should be to the vfs. We have patches that do that for read delegations: http://git.linux-nfs.org/?p=bfields/linux-topics.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/leases but they still have a few problems. I hope to get them out for review soon. Write delegations are more difficult. Distributed filesystems will also be harder. --b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
