I'm guessing that the merge window opening might not be too far away now, and in any case, I won't have quite my normal internet access next week. So I'm pushing out the current GFS2 tree so that (I hope) there will be time to fix any issues.
Again, there are fewer patches here. A lot of them are fairly small too. The most noteable item deals with the meta filesystem which was in response to Al Viro's suggestions concerning a better way to structure that code. It certainly results in a much cleaner implementation, so thanks go to Al for pointing that out.
A couple of new features: I/O barrier support (needs no user configuration, see the patch for details) and UUID support (no code changes, its all userland but we reserve space in the super block, again details in the patch itself).
I know that I hardly need say, but please let me know if you have any comments :-)
Steve.
