Yes - basically all of the xfs_* files in libxfs/ and include are copies of the kernel code. Unfortunately it's not 1:1 at the moment as there are a few differences: - the userspace code uses a single <xfs.h> include instead of the individual includes in kernel space - some files aren't fully used in userspace and the userspace variants miss some functions - if I remember correctly some functions aren't static in the userland version. The latests xfsprogs release contains a major rebase of the code, but if you have enough time to a resync with the code for the Linux 3.2 merge it would help a lot. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
