We should only export kernel interfaces and ufs_fs.h isn't one. silo wants it because it defines the ufs format - but the linux structs for that can and do change, e.g. adding unions when we add support for the gazillion+1st ufs format variant. silo should just grab a copy of it that it's happy with it and update it when it needs to support another format variant (which I think is a rather theoretical issue as silo only supports the solaris/sparc format IIR) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
