Ocfs2 users - Nov 2009 - Ask for backport reflink feature of the ocfs2 to the sles11

Hellow, everyone 

I'm from HuaWei, China. We are looking for the candidate of virtualization
platform among several vendors. Learned from Oracle people, the latest version
of ocfs2 has integrated reflink feature which was commited to the the linux
2.6.32 kernel.  But as we know, the sles11 integrated the linux 2.6.27 kernle,
so the relink feature is not avaiable on the sles11 platform.

We heared that the suse people plan to backport the latest ocfs2 into the
sles11. Is there any more detaied information about that? Any response is
appreciated.

Thanks

If all goes according to plan, SLE11 SP1 will contain the reflink feature.
I don't really have much more information about that for you right now, but
yes it's something we're looking forward to providing to customers.
