I've been following the discussion about the userfs. I'm wondering what happens if, while the pseudo-device is mounted, the daemon dies. Doesn't that tend to "fudge" up the pseudo-device? I've only just started into file system implementations for FreeBSD, so sorry if the answer is obvious... It would seem that some type of recovery would be necessary for the new daemon when its started. Does the userfs handle caching of disk blocks? Does it handle caching of inodes? Does it handle caching of directory data? If so, the userfs would then not benefit from the caching algorithms in the kernel?
