It would be nice if the jfs fsim linked against libjfs, rather than exec()ing mkfs & friends. (mkfs should be a frontend of libjfs) Notice you have no error handling, etc. now? Also, the "total system" seems more complicated now. (For example: how are you going to interface the resizer, so you can find out the min/max sizes, etc?) Also, while I'm at it: you didn't like my idea for interfacing the parted exception system with evms properly? I even wrote the code for you (without testing it)... I didn't see a reply to my mail... you(s) didn't like it? BTW: what do you think of how libparted interfaces with libreiserfs? There has been a lot of work, and it has all been merged properly now. I think EVMS should do something similar. Have a look in libparted/fs_reiserfs. Andrew
