I doubt there's any real reason for duplication. Probably libnfsidmap should be part of nfs-utils, actually. And maybe we don't need it at all--the original reason to split out libnfsidmap was to share the code with libacl, so the posix getfacl command could do v4->posix acl mapping, but those patches never made it upstream. --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
