Thank you for your report! I will include njbfs into my jp15 patch set wh=
ich=20
is based on 2.4.20pre and will check what is going on. jp15 is to appear =
in a=20
week or two, so please be patient. I think it's the Linux VFS change in=20
2.4.19pre which might confuse njbfs when listing files, giving "NFS stale=
=20
handle" messages. I had to fix all related "remote" file systems, ftpfs f=
or=20
example, or supermount.

Thanks!

No, it's not dead. There had been some requests lately, so I wonder the n=
jbfs=20
project has been many friends :-) It's only suspended for myself, still o=
pen=20
for Ben and all other code committers, and if you feel comfortable writin=
g C=20
code, as you say, I would appreciate you joining the project.=20

For myself, I suspended my activities until I have a new NJB 3 with IEEE =
1394=20
interface, which will be a new challenge for writing a modular njbfs driv=
er,=20
serving both USB and IEEE 1394. But that will take time to pay a reasonab=
le=20
price, maybe end of 2002. And, I will need some extra skills of programmi=
ng=20
IEEE 1394 devices, so it will be fun.

Best regards,
