Hi Soumya,
I just started looking at delegation support in ganesha (mostly with an
eye toward plumbing in delegation support for Ceph).
I think we probably need to rework the whole delegation interface (maybe
even give it a dedicated FSAL op), and was wondering if you had started
any work along those lines.
Thanks,
