It's a leftover from when we had code for Linux 2.4 and Linux 2.6 in the same ptools repository. I was going to suggest near the end of the merge window that we'll simply apply a big git rename to kill all the subdirectories which create nothing but pain. Now that the modular quota options (which never made it to mainline anyway) is gone there's absolutely no need for the quota directly, and support/ only has the uuid helpers left, which are about to get mostly replaced by common code anyway. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
