RE: DM-API? Re: XFS for Linux

["Lindanne Metley" <mlindanne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Obviously I'm not using my company's email address yet. I'm sort of 
exploring this on my own at the moment. We are going to try to implement DM, 
and the plan is to make our work open sourced. So if you would like us to 
port your code to Linux and make it open, I think that can be arranged. (It 
would make at least my life easier.)
