This is also not code offered Not only Fs's, the entire vm got replaced and the fact that was made doesn't mean it was right. AFAICT, Marcelo isn't taking any decision that would unstabilize the stable tree. I'm happy with that. He isn't taking other things which are _far_ more importante for people, ALSA for example (drivers that you can just disable. And it doesn't touch VFS code) and _nobody_ cares abouth that. (Personally I don't think Marcelo would refuse XFS if it wouldn't touch the VFS code. The fact that some people think Marcelo is refusing it because he doesn't likes the code is stupid - he made clear that the problem is the VFS related part) Hopefully hch will review it, he will agree that it's right, or he will find bugs that nobody has triggered with the xfs patches, and xfs will be merged and all this fscking flame will stop
