I looked at backporting it to 2.6.16, but there are just too many things to work around easily. That kernel is used on 10.1 and SLES 10, neither of which I'm inclined to work that hard to get btrfs working with. ;) It does work on 10.2 and 10.3, which are based on 2.6.18 and 2.6.22, respectively. The AppArmor patch, extended properly, will also get btrfs up and running on recent versions of Ubuntu. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHqxZvLPWxlyuTD7IRApouAJ0V+dpepo4Ui3vByEcyKjO2EYJMSQCgpWsH OFFNYuKGW/vBNv49aOuIDKE= =M/3f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Btrfs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/btrfs-devel
