Sorry for what appears to be an off topic posts. These emails were part of a non-xfs related conversation that was forwarded to list by Peter Grandi. While I did write these emails I did not sent them to the list. If any additional emails on this topic show up they will not have come directly from me. -Russell On 4/5/12 7:44 PM, Russell Cattelan wrote: > Well I'm afraid I'm going to respectfully disagree. > I don't have the full story of everything that happened > but none of the post you pointed out are totally off topic. > There seems to be some question about what you have said previously > about XFS, which to me would seem on topic. > > I have forwarded your email to Christoph and the other prominent members > of the XFS team and if they feel further action is warranted we > can revisit the issue.
