What do the user-mode utilities does for what? You always say something like, "we need this for OSD, pNFS or something". But I'm not sure you explain the detailed background. A typical example is, why does the osd library export lots of functions that exofs doesn't use with EXPORT_SYMBOL instead of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
