I am wondering how can I enable files as directories behavior. For example:
touch a; chmod a+x a
cd a
touch b -> error, not a directory
Thanks,
Grant

linux kernel 2.4.x does not allow this. At least sys_fchdir() does not
allow this. linux-2.6.x does.

Err. Wait. Grant, you are talking about reiser4, right?
In reiser4 you cannot use plain regular files "as directories" that is,
create files within them. Set of files living within regular file is
predetermined. Take a look at http://namesys.com/v4/pseudo.html. We are,
however, planning having special type (plugin in reiser4 parlance) of
file that is both file and directory. But it is not yet implemented.
By the way, thanks again for benchmarks. I added them to the
http://www.namesys.com/benchmarks/v4marks.html.
