According to Nate Williams: > What's the difference? Aren't all FS's stackable? No. If you stack B on top of A but B calls direct VM functions (like FFS does), than A will not see them and it will screw something up. The purpose of stacking is that every function not implemented in B will be bypassed and executed inside A. > What effort? Yours? I dont see anyone working on the FS stacking > effort. Terry does. I would if I could understand all this. > They were broken when we got them. Their brokeness continued and was at > times made worse due to changes made around them.

Nullfs has very interesting uses but you should not have to be able to write the code in order to use it. > appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.
