The file-set only has applications so changes are pretty rare and so a
10 min or so check would be fine with me.<br>>> <br>>> Thanks<br>>> <br>>> Simon <br>>> <br>>> _______________________________________________<br>>> gpfsug-discuss mailing list<br>>> gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org<br>>> </font></tt><a href="http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss"><tt><font size=2>http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss</font></tt></a><tt><font size=2><br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> gpfsug-discuss mailing list<br>> gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org<br>> </font></tt><a href="http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss"><tt><font size=2>http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss</font></tt></a><tt><font size=2><br>_______________________________________________<br>gpfsug-discuss mailing list<br>gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org<br></font></tt><a href="http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss"><tt><font size=2>http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss</font></tt></a><tt><font size=2><br><br></font></tt><br><br><BR>
