More codework today, so more questions.

inodes:
----------
We would like to add a new field to every inode on disc. This could monopolize 
the "plugin_data" union on the struct. Is there a better way? How can this be 
achieved without breaking format compatibility?

Storage:
-----------
How tightly can these attribute directories be packed? Dominic Giampaulo 
rejected a similar design to ours for efficiency purposes in the BeFS, but he 
was not lucky enough to have the advantages of the Reiser storage layer 
underneath. So... since we have those advantages, how tight can we pack the 
following:

Small file with an attribute directory:
inode
        ->data
        ->attributedir_inode
                ->attributedir_ dir_file
                        ->attribute_inode
                                ->attribute_data
