Thanks for your work, this is going to be pretty handy. As a side note, another good filesystem project it would be nice to support in FreeBSD is FiST [1] and more specifically its powerful union filesystem [2] which seems to be far less broken than FreeBSD's unionfs. For those who don't know this, FiST only requires to have a no-op stackabke filesystem (called wrapfs IIRC) implemented on a given operating system to allow to take the best of all other filesystems implemented thanks to FiST. This includes unionfs, cryptfs, gzipfs, ... They are implemented in pseudo-C code and ``merged'' with the OS-dependant wrapfs to create a new filesystem.
