enabling orange-fs support

[Alois Schloegl <alois.schloegl@ist.ac.at>]

Dear Kernel maintainers,


We are looking into distributed, parallel filesystems like beegfs and
orangefs. I'd prefer orangefs (mainly because of its license terms).

We'd like to use Debian/stable for this set up, unfortunately, the
current debian kernel has orange-fs support disabled.


Is there a chance that orange-fs will be supported in future
debian-kernel releases ? What is  the reason for not enabling orange-fs
(except that the configuration resides only in the "miscellaneous
filesystem") ?

What would be needed in order to enable orange-fs support in the debian
kernel releases ?



Thanks for considering,

     Alois Schlögl
