[fedfs-utils] [PATCH 0/3] Introduce nfsref command and mountd plug-in

[Chuck Lever]

Now that all the pre-requisites are in place, here are the two major
new pieces of functionality for fedfs-utils 0.8:

The nfsref command provides a simple way to manage junctions on a
Linux file server.  It is modelled after the Solaris command of the
same name.  It can create or delete both NFS basic junctions (where
the FS locations are stored right in the junction) and FedFS junctions
(where the FS locations are stored on a nearby LDAP server).

The nfs-plugin library is loaded by mountd when the kernel NFSD wants
to resolve a local junction.  The library can recognize and handle
both NFS basic junctions and FedFS junctions.  It brings in all the
external dependencies it needs so that nfs-utils itself does not carry
dependencies on LDAP, XML, or sqlite.

Review period ends EOB Thursday, January 19th.  The following day I
plan to post the remaining patches that make up the first 0.8 release
candidate.  A secure git repo should be available by then for the
release of fedfs-utils-0.8.0 .
