Can we just commit the code as-is without the extra mask checks for now? Frankly speaking: - I still do not understand why we should be doing it, I perceive it as an unnecessary extra potentially fragile code - the existing code just "works" well to me. Tried various scenarios on Netapp and Linux NFS server. It just works. - I understand it might not be perfect, but I think even you will agree that it's far better than what we have now in there (i.e. nothing) - since most of the heavy lifting has already been done, we can patch the masks later on (if needed) as it should be fairly easy job once we know exactly what to do there. I am happy to incorporate the other suggestions you had (thanks for them), but I have reached the point that I can't invest more time into it. Thanks, Ondrej
