Yes, this is a well-written (albeit deeply technical) article on BSD = VFS. I get that the author is clearly more familiar with Solaris, and = therefore used it as a point of comparison, but I wonder if he has any = appetite for a Linux VFS (http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/lk/lk-8.html) = vs BSD VFS article as well. I=92ve never really investigated the Linux = VFS implementation in any detail, but I=92m told it has some nice = features to facilitate file change monitoring and simply provides a = richer set of semantics for permuting filesystem behaviors. Maybe we = could learn a thing or two from it? - Jordan
