There is a bug I have just found while testing the latest release of ELKS.
I have submitted it into the bug tracking system and the entry can be found
at

http://www.elks.ecs.soton.ac.uk/bugs/full.php3?bugid=fc60b7decf6c8b4a58dd0bdea3fd5aa7

The symptoms are that when a filesystem other than the root filesystem is
mounted on a mountpoint, the mount does not appear to take propper effect.
The files that are on the mounted filesys do not appear in the correct
place, and file copied to the mount point do not get written to the
mounted filesystem. I think this is caused by one of the changes made to
the inode code in the latest release. Is clearly a critical bug as it
prevents ELKS from being installed an a system so I will be devoting as
much time as possible to fixing it. If anyone else can find time to look at
this the effort would be appreciated, as I have now looked at the inode
code so hard I will be seeing inodes in my sleep.
