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 [1] http://www.orangefs.org/ -- Alois Schlögl Scientific Computing IST Austria

I see it got merged in 4.9 hence stable would be possible. > Is there a chance that orange-fs will be supported in future > debian-kernel releases ?

Unless it has other dependencies, which I haven't checked, it is very likely an oversight. > What would be needed in order to enable orange-fs support in the debian > kernel releases ? 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
