But you can build a library that handles uniform access to files and directories. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a uniform interface for files and metadata, but I don't think that it has to be in the kernel. Gnome and KDE already have their own userspace VFS, something like that should be used. One has to distinguish between the low-level filesystem and the storage system which is presented to the user. --=20 Martin Waitz --TU+u6i6jrDPzmlWF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCy4Zbj/Eaxd/oD7IRAguVAJ4vT8avX+ZkGGUSdVEiARDpP1zhuwCdERaQ 8Y6bC3l+jpDpyMl0aSo+Ryk= =7MXK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --TU+u6i6jrDPzmlWF--
