Well, this might be the perfect time to bring up the fact that I'm sorta working on a file system (I call it effs for Everything's a File File System) somewhat similar to the Plan9 and Inferno file system. It's going to be somewhat similar to portal and borrows ideas from userfs which exists for Linux 2.0. It's primarily meant as a hacking exercise for myself, but I was wondering if the FreeBSD community would be interested in something like this. Regards, Rajappa -- a.k.a. Rajappa Iyer.
