Yes that is what I meant by streams, but reiserfs
cannot yet support streams (ok - the truth is that
linux is not really able to handle streams on a kernel
level yet) .  reiser is working on an alternative way
to provide streams functionality in a different
method.  the problem is that reiser can't deal with
the hidden directory attached to a file, or the
subdirectory beyond that - for reasons that are beyond
my comprehension at this point :)  Also, the LiS that
you mentioned, is a hack to interface between streams
and standard bsd sockets.  it is still not a kernel
level streams, and cannot handle tcp/ip, just bottom
layer ip, among other problems.
