[Pvfs2-users] Root squashing

[Murali Vilayannur]

Hi Simon,
Sam and I had talked about it a few days ago. RobR had a few reservations
about the patch and I believe I had addressed most if not all of his
comments.
So I guess it is now a question of just applying and/or porting it to
cvs head if noone else has any other serious objections..(perhaps in the
next release?)
thanks,
Murali
