Thanks for the pointer,
That's in Spanish right? We used to have a Spanish speaking developer,
it would be interesting to read the text, if I can remember how to use
babelfish.... OK, interesting.

If there were about 20 days in a week and 48 hours in a day we might
just have time to do everything. There has been a design for speeding
this up for several years (yes years) but there has never been the
bandwidth to implement it. It involves major structural changes in XFS
and there are probably half a dozen people in the world with enough
understanding of the code to attempt it (and only two of us work for SGI
anymore).
So yes I would like to, but it is still way way down the list (not ordered):
o Fix NFS problems in linux xfs which some people have reported
o support block sizes other then the page size
o rework some vm code usage which will be hard to get into Linus's tree
o complete realtime subvolume support
o get a standard acl/extended attribute api
o get code accepted by Linus
o keep up with this email list!
+ the internal list of other things you do not get to see and which contains
some MUCH larger work items than the above.
So yes, I would like to do this, but....
