Thanks for your interest in GSoC 2017 participation.
Could you please give a little more detail on how you would tackle
this task? E.g. Would you plan on integrating with an existing monitoring
framework, or would you start from scratch? Which language would you use?
Which stats do you think would be most relevant for cifs.ko end users?

Cheers, David
