Joyce,
I like the idea of built-in virus scanning capability.
I have to ask, however, why are you seeking endorsement by storage
community ?
1. You seemed to have your code already integrated.
2. The PSARC materials for this project are closed.
So what benefits would community get by endorsing this project
and what benefits will you get by having your project endorsed ?
P.S. I understand it may sound offensive, but no offense intended.
I just want some more clarification before I cast my vote.
