Well can we resuscitate this patch? The AFS NAS head example is a good reason to do this. If you need any help please let me know and I will be happy to test/adapt the patch in/to the version that you may want to apply it. We have one version for 2.4.18 that someone created recently if the one you have is too old...

I know Matthew had the patches, and I know I looked at them and they seemed sane enough. But I don't know where they eventually went. Things like NFS over AFS are going to need it - 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/
