This is a *very* interesting new feature, and one we can make very creative use of, however, we're currently a Solaris fileserver shop, and we won't have namei fileservers anytime soon. Why can't this be used with non-namei fileservers? Is there something fundamental about the patch that only works with namei, or was it simply not tested with non-namei? IOW, is it perhaps just a case of not needed non-namei, and therefore _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
