Did I misunderstand earlier discussions (the nudge Alan Cox thread) then? I
inferred it meant that XFS was doing the same things, in different ways,
than the mainline kernel. By what you just said, I think I erred. Is the
issue really that the code is not confined to the FS layer, but that XFS
needs additional, mainline, code to function?
