I do! I do! I've been stumbling around the reiser4 code, trying to make sense of things. It looks very clean, very well implemented, sort of allright documentation -- no idea where to start. | This would make it easier for people to implement stuff like the | aforementioned Lustre subset, new plugins, chdir to -x files or something. I'm thinking of doing said Lustre subset as a more generic facility. I definitely want reiser4 support, though, and it'd be really nice to: - - support remote 'metas' dirs as if they were local - - have our own area inside 'metas' which is always local, to allow things like forcing particular files to always be in the cache - - have almost no speed difference between local cache reads and local fs reads - - allow separate caching of different logical pieces of a file, to sanely allow files which are directories - - share an fs between a cache and entirely local files Most of that would be best implemented as some form of plugin. First question: Can I manually enable/disable a particular plugin for a particular directory? (like how cryptocompress is supposed to be...) Second question: Would such a setting be recursive? Can I tell it whether to recurse or not? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIVAwUBQP89rHgHNmZLgCUhAQIbWg//estyCCE5Ae0/YiSS1SXU0ZOevSSTy3Aa HtoGRlWCbkXWQhkpyrnyE4rMdjqDyaFuCIEh9bq3yuzIT0azHajW2nRzur8ffzmn allFZtPtNsMRh4w3kRuQR37s1I0BXs4zQLGstWb4KveyHp/QxegtZ1JLSiS8Jd3w rqaI4UusIHmVTLBJAK5ilVFcor98p14zG9NphPrsht0HDa0LXeGBKsDb9yQ1Db2F bWYqliZW5V/+z4JrGuHSBeqbgR+tSla5gRWHhVuDTe8s24cVAzq+Oks7m2Dxw1D3 JKA1UiCRfWG0jpBjRMrZV37TaFHN9OCgFqQVK8VFreojuuGkPxfqOH2/64LhnYXh 4AexfMB5+IUQHSU+rjWQ58Hm0Lv+VYXyupo2snvig4xZUi7P2RaSK0/zLNSZ61jy Hor+mlxn0/Qsk8GLZG3JO5loVPrdq4cYeDcx8jUaOQRV5IzeWubt7hRgscjed+HI P+w5pkFRXwEK1cqPn+R8BFHGqF2M/AMfmNgY3vEnRaNGrtQ/c4p05ZxQa8DBxWuT A0rnpZlkBkrQM2sGGUd71EzNQJIPLSxMmKiZOJH1UNo4m36IvGCdPmec3cgLQwud WsXAPS1pxlMbqKAIv7t2VV4X2sWJP7xNHTE7hEG0DqQ6c3T4eSEaenUjWq6Y92rf XwoUS85igeM=3D =3DjPhu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
