Hello,
jonludlam: Did you check if the Xen4Centos Linux 3.10 kernel blktap2.5 patches should be refreshed? (see below).
Sorry if we already discussed this, but I couldn't find anything about it, so I thought of asking again..
Thanks,

<pasik> jonludlam: would you like to email about the blktap2.5 kernel patches once you figure it out? <jonludlam> pasik, if there's anything actually to do, I will [14:48]
<jonludlam> it looks like the recent activity on the patch in our tree has been to do with very large scalability <jonludlam> which might not be of much interest <pasik> jonludlam: thanks! [14:49] <pasik> jonludlam: well, at least all the bugfixes are of interest :) <jonludlam> pasik, for sure :-) [14:50]
