I'd like to know if there are any people actively using the filestreams support in XFS (-o filestreams). It's pretty much a fringe feature, and I've not seen any user reports for it, while it never passes all its XFSQA tests reliably. It was added specificly for CXFS media streaming operations on one particular array model that hasn't been sold for a long time. The feature purely is an in-memory one so unlike for example the realtime device there are no issue about beeing able to read old filesystems. The filestreams specific files are around 1500 lines of code, not even counting the hooks in the core XFS codebase. If no serious users reply to this mail I'd like to add a deprecation warning to the mount option in the Linux 3.0 release cycle, with a goal to drop it 4 releases later. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
