9 | The IBM Linux JFS team for explaining many esoteric Linux filesystem features. | |
10 | Dave Boutcher of IBM Rochester (author of the OS/400 smb/cifs filesystem client) | |
11 | for proving years ago that a very good smb/cifs client could be done on a Unix like | |
12 | operating system. Volker Lendecke, Andrew Tridgell, Urban Widmark, John Newbigin | |
13 | and others for their work on the Linux smbfs module over the years. Thanks to | |
