Also sometimes the authors know it's hackish, or just don't expect it to be generally useful to the world. I happen to own an out-of-tree filesystem which I have little desire to have reviewed for mainline: only a dozen people use it at most, and I know it would get pinged mercilessly for using buffer heads and general insanity if it ever made it past "use FUSE instead" (which would admittedly be a perfectly fine response). It works though, so I keep it up to date with the VFS changes. I do have some interest in working on various device drivers, though. Greg, assuming this somehow kicks off some avalanche of specs, will there be a ML for hooking up driver writers with specs and willing users? -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
