Patryk, Piotr, I'm making some changes to the FSAL API with regards to managing file descriptors (fsal_fd). FSAL_LIZARDFS has an odd bit on opening fd where there is a no_access_check or after_mknod bool which if TRUE you add O_CREAT to the posix flags. I'm trying to understand when that is actually necessary because it seems to be set to true anytime the FSAL commonlib code calls open_func which may not be right if commonlib is calling open_func in more situations. I'd love to have a chat with you folks either via e-mail, or on IRC. Thanks Frank Filz
