Re: [V9fs-developer] [GIT PULL] 9p Patches for 2.6.23 merge window

2007-07-15 Thread Latchesar Ionkov
I thought that it is not a good idea to keep the v9fs_ prefix for code that is in different places (fs/9p and net/9p). If keeping the old prefix is more acceptable, I can create a new patch without the "v9fs_"->"p9_" renames. Thanks, Lucho On 7/15/07, Linus Torvalds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
