Message-ID: <48DF1341.8070101@oracle.com> Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2008 13:16:49 +0800 From: Tao Ma <tao.ma@...cle.com> To: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@...e.com> CC: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, joel.becker@...cle.com, ocfs2-devel@....oracle.com, linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/39] Ocfs2 updates for 2.6.28 Hi Mark, do you see my 2 patches for xattr? http://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2008-September/002839.html this is pretty straightforward and I think it can be committed with it. http://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2008-September/002839.html this is the new support for empty bucket.
