Greg, I send a series of 19 patches for XFS updates to stable@...nel.org
back on the 12th March for 2.6.32 (subject was "[PATCH 0/19] xfs:
2.6.32.y stable tree updates").

The patches were cc'd to the XFS list and they made it there:

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2010-03/msg00125.html

so I'm wondering if you've got them queued up or not or whether
I need to resend them to you....

I sent these prior to the last stable release that had this same
comment, so I didn't get worried that they had been missed. Now they
are missing from the next stable release, I'm getting worried. :/

Cheers,

Dave.
