Hi Piotr, Please consider adding the LizardFS FSAL into the nfs-ganesha source tree and maintaining it "in tree" there. If you have any questions or need help you can find us on #ganesha on Freenode IRC, or on the nfs-ganesha-devel mailing list. I've heard there will be people from LizardFS at FOSDEM. I'll be at FOSDEM too (and the CentOS Dojo on Friday beforehand). When I'm not listening to talks I'll be in the storage dev room or hanging out at the GlusterFS booth (in K hall IIRC). You can leave a message for me at the booth.
