Greetings all,
This is the second round of request for comments for TCM/ConfigFS v3.2 from lio-core-2.6.git. Thanks to the folks who made comments, and I again invite people to take a look and make recommendations on how the code can be futher improved to use the best available upstream interfaces.
Also, the standalone patches for TCM v3.2 are now available from:
