Sam, Getting code into the mainline kernel is an uphill task and is really not worth the pain. A lot of our code may get restructured (especially some of the vfs/dcache related hooks) Once we drop all support for 2.4 kernels, I think maintaining configure checks and the #ifdef checks in the kernel module don't seem that daunting (hopefully ;)) thanks, Murali
Since the client has to be shipped separately, and the versions between kernel module and client have to match, I think it ends up being easier to just ship them together. That being said, I've been smacked by the #ifdef checks in the kernel module in order to support all the different kernel versions still out there. It can make the code hard to follow. Someone with more history can answer this better though I'm sure. -sam > > - David Brown > _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-developers mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-developers
