#62397 — enabling orange-fs support

Subjectenabling orange-fs support
Message-ID<wKZaW-845-7@gated-at.bofh.it>
Dear Kernel maintainers,


We are looking into distributed, parallel filesystems like beegfs and
orangefs. I'd prefer orangefs (mainly because of its license terms).

We'd like to use Debian/stable for this set up, unfortunately, the
current debian kernel has orange-fs support disabled.


Is there a chance that orange-fs will be supported in future
debian-kernel releases ? What is  the reason for not enabling orange-fs
(except that the configuration resides only in the "miscellaneous
filesystem") ?

What would be needed in order to enable orange-fs support in the debian
kernel releases ?



Thanks for considering,

     Alois Schlögl

I see it got merged in 4.9 hence stable would be possible.

Unless it has other dependencies, which I haven't checked,
it is very likely an oversight.

Would you mind filling a wishlist bug against the unstable linux-image?
Then once changed this would propagate into Testing.
Afterwards this could be considered for a next stable update.
 
Thanks for your input!

Kind regards,
maximilian
