It was also renamed to externfs. The old > hostfs_user.c is now host_fs.c.

O_SYNC will make writes synchronous, and O_DIRECT (when this > stuff makes it into my 2.6 tree) should do the same for writes, if it can > be invoked from mount for an entire filesystem. > > humfs is now able to accept plug-in metadata modules, thanks to Piotr Neuman. > The existing shadow filesystem metadata is now plugged in to this interface, > and lives in meta_fs.c.
