The concept looks very nice, but I think the integration with the scsi layer and the xfs/nfs code still needs to be a lot cleaner which could benefit from some public review. I was pretty suprised about GFS and some other interesting changes in NEC's tree, it's a shame you hide such nice free software :) Christoph (*) the name GFS clashes with another linux filesystem which is very confusing, btw..
