Since the last review (June 2009) a lot of things are changed: - removed any reference of BKL - fixed the endianess for the fs layout - added support for extended attributes, ACLs and security labels - moved out any pte manipulations from fs and inserted them in mm - implemented the new truncate convention - fixed problems with 64bit archs ...and much more. Complete "story" in the ChangeLog inserted in the documentation file. In addition, in the web site tech page (http:\\pramfs.sourceforge.net), you can find a lot of information about implementation, technical details, benchmarking and so on. All the work to mainline this feature is sponsored by the CE Linux Forum. Regards, Marco
