It is not full-featured if it doesn't have support for hardlinks, security labels, extended attributes, etc. Please call it a specialized filesystem instead, that seems to be much more in line with the comments about pramfs use cases in this thread... Oh, and that should be in the Kconfig help text, as well as the stuff that goes in Documentation/*, obviously. Maybe it already is, I didn't look. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
