This is NOT an MFS. This is more like the "malloc file system", i.e. the file system maintains its own inodes in memory, as well as data. This is eventually going to support private name spaces for FreeBSD, but in the intermediate step I think you folks might find other uses for it too. At the very least I think it will be a useful "vfs tutorial". Aaron has lots of stuff working at this point. ron Ron Minnich |"There is no neat distinction between operating system rminnich@sarnoff.com | software and the software that runs on top of it" (609)-734-3120 | Jim Allchin, Microsoft.
