Even though I do filesystem hacking from time to time, I think that we need to get agreement from other's (on the team) on the changes. The changes have significant architectural implications. At least, in certain areas, Terry is on the right track... We need to get consensus on the changes. The last batch of changes don't fix all of the problems, and Jeffery Hsu's stuff should be reviewed and appropriately included also. I actually think that we are stagnating in this area a "little bit." But again, I don't feel qualified to make wholesale changes in that (the VFS) section of the kernel, without agreement from others... Anybody have any ideas on this impasse? John
