[LSF/MM TOPIC] [ATTEND] readdirplus-like (xgetdents) system call

[Abhijith Das <adas@redhat.com>]

Like Steve mentioned in his email earlier, I'm working on a readdirplus-like (I'm calling it xgetdents for now) system call. This came up as a desired filesystem feature from GFS2 from a Clustered Samba perspective. I hope to have some results to present by April. 

Could you please add me to the attendee list.

I also second Steve's thought of having a session to discuss various clustered samba/NFS issues we haven't talked about in a while.

Cheers!
