Hi Frank, I'm about to discuss/announce some changes that are coming within the next few months into ONNV. My understanding is that ufs-discuss is the right place to talk about generic file system issues. As I was scanning through old threads, I found this one. Are there plans to create a "file system code" list/community? Is the ufs-discuss alias still the right place at present to discuss VFS-level changes?
