Hopefully that won't be an issue for long... This includes Christoph's branch (all but the final xfs commits): git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux.git for-3.20 That's what I intend to submit. Hope that's OK. Then it's up to Dave whether he wants to pull that in and include the xfs patches. Worst case we end up with not-yet-usable pnfs code in 3.20, which wouldn't be ideal but shouldn't cause any serious problem either. --b. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
