Simple questions also have simple answers. Because nobody has done it yet. There is this motto in the Linux camp that fits very nicely questions like this one: "Do you have any code to show to us?" Please guys. Stop wasting bandwidth to discuss what things would be a nice idea to do, and asking why nobody else has done or thought of this before... If you (or anyone else, this is not personal) think you can do something, then please, go ahead and do it. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
