But hey, do you really want to release a Linux 3.0 kernel without serious layered filesystem functionality? Shame on you, Pete PS.: Sorry for being such a pest in this regard, but filesystem layering is one of the most important missing bits to excel out of the box in * live distros * diskless computing * flash based systems Even the linux based commercial PBX solution (mobydick), I bought, ships with it. PPS.: Bad timing, I know, but I'm glad, that Al is back to life again..
