Notes

apw

kernel side this is likely fixed by the commits below, we likely either also need a local patch to change defaults or userspace work to ensure appropriate mount options: 0499680a42141d86417a8fbaa8c8db806bea1201 a2ef990ab5a6705a356d146dd773a3b359787497 They also need some chmoding. But basically upstream says that we have what we needed for these.
