No, I did not. I CCed fsdevel originally in part because other clustered/distributed filesystems developers are likely to read lkml or fsdevel and might share their opinions about the patch and the approach itself. Actually I am not sure if any other non-local filesystem tries to be as close to local fs in semantic as Lustre does.
