Thing which I would > obviously not be able to accomplish... :) I've a pretty limited understanding of the workings of the FreeBSD file system. From that perspective it seems as though the problem mightn't be complex, but the debugging of any work on it would be very painful. Probably I'm wrong and it is complex. I'm curious enough to be interested in improving my understanding of how the filesystem works. Is there any documentation of the layout of the file system available online, or would I have to delve into the source to get more information.
