I think that is what Bagas (?) > suggested, but how/where do I find "fs/exfat in linux.git tree" ?? That's simple. First, you need to clone Linus's tree: ``` $ git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.= git linux-kernel $ cd linux-kernel/ ``` You can now browse exfat sources in fs/exfat. To get maintainers list that you should Cc: when submitting patches, do =66rom cloned repo: ``` $ scripts/get_maintainer.pl fs/exfat/ ``` Thanks. --=20 An old man doll... just what I always wanted! - Clara --iAs65og+PAuB8jsg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQSSYQ6Cy7oyFNCHrUH2uYlJVVFOowUCZW7nZwAKCRD2uYlJVVFO o2WeAPwICH6Le2iaGKJqwS9x0swecz1+B29ctGML7PDWyOfwHwD9F46chB8S176E baRpN2ILoEo/1qNQFSbQ7q/xiU3BRAQ= =PqkT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --iAs65og+PAuB8jsg--
