Well, last time we discussed this topic, you said that moving most of lustre
proc files
into sysfs and other suitable venues is what prevents moving lustre out of the
staging tree under fs/
There well might be include mess, but this is the first time I hear about it,
and I have not seen
any build breakage or other obviously broken behavior.
I am sure there are more things too, that's why I am asking.
We are trying to deal with stuff we know about, but it's a bit harder to deal
with the stuff we don't know about
that does not manifest itself in some clear way.
Bye,
Oleg
