Not your call, it's Marcelo's call. And I and he have both suggested that the way to get XFS in is to have someone with some clout in the file system area agree that it is fine. It's a perfectly reasonable request and the longer it goes unanswered the less likely it is that XFS will get integrated. The fact that $XFS_USER wants it in is $XFS_USER's problem. $VFS_MAINTAINER needs to say "hey, this looks good, what's the fuss about?" and I suspect that Marcelo would be more interested.
It is not, however, any more my call to make than it is your call to make. We're not doing Marcelo's job.
It is also not unreasonable to reject a set of changes right before freezing 2.4. 2.4 is supposed to be dead. Add XFS and what's next? Who's pet feature needs to go in? -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
