As far as I understand, implementing a new filesystems does *not* require any kernel hacking. Filesystems are user-level processes. That's one of the points of HURD, I guess. You don't even need a spare partition to play with; just dd a fat/vfat/fvsh filesystem to a file, and run the filesystem translator you are hacking on against that file. /Niels
