I thought the email replies to the kernel submission I made also went to the autofs list. I didn't notice if that wasn't the case. Anyway, Al Viro vetoed the patch with little justification except to say that there are VFS changes coming that the patch won't fit well with, but also didn't elaborate those changes when asked. So all we can do is wait and see. Ian _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
