Subject: [GIT PULL] Request for pulling exofs for 2.6.30


which is available in the git repository at:

  git://git.open-osd.org/linux-open-osd.git for-linus

Boaz Harrosh (9):
      exofs: Kbuild, Headers and osd utils
      exofs: file and file_inode operations
      exofs: symlink_inode and fast_symlink_inode operations
      exofs: address_space_operations
      exofs: dir_inode and directory operations
      exofs: super_operations and file_system_type
      exofs: export_operations
      exofs: Documentation
      fs: Add exofs to Kernel build

The filesystem code was reviewed on linux-fsdevel, linux-scsi
and linux-kernel Mailing lists. They went through 7 cycles
of reviews, until comments stopped.

The exofs tree above was in linux-next since 2.6.29-rc1

All the pre-requisites for this code have been accepted upstream
through scsi-misc tree. That is the open-osd osd_initiator library.

There is also a user mode osd-api and exofs user-mode mount and
mkfs.exofs utilities. They are all fully GPLed projects.

The project is hosted on a dedicated server at http://open-osd.org
There's a modest Wiki and an active mailing lists. There are a few
users mostly students that use osd for their personal projects, and
one main user, Panasas which I work for.

At one of the mails Andrew Morton suggested you might want to pull
the git-tree directly, instead of him pushing it through his tree?

Please tell me if you need any more information in order to formulate
an opinion.
