Subject: RFC: Schedule EFS for removal.
Date: Mon, 21 May 2007 10:46:18 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070521144618.GA6914@redhat.com> (raw)
EFS aparently is broken (See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1020)
has been so for some time, and attempts to fix it have been rejected.
Given there's a userspace app to access these volumes, how
about scheduling it for removal ?
