Hi, I have posted version 0.0.2 of nullfs. Other than cleaning up the appearance of the code a bit, the only real change is support for Linux 2.6.25. This new version will _only_ work with 2.6.25 because the nameidata struct was changed in the newest kernel. Unlike my previous efforts with Dazuko, I will _NOT_ support every kernel version available. I will only support the latest stable release from Linus' kernel tree. This is important for me because I want the code to be ready for merging into mainline at all times. (That wouldn't be possible if the code was filled with tons of ugly ifdef's to cover every version.)
I am now testing nullfs by running it on my personal laptop. I've stacked several ext3 directories and even an hfsplus mount. My /etc/fstab is attached in case anyone is interested in seeing how I'm testing. I have not yet experienced any problems. You'll notice that I have only stacked directories that are read-only and do not contain system-critical utilities (such as /lib or /sbin). And I definately have _not_ stacked /home, since that is where my sacred data lies. (Although it should be clear that I am still taking a risk by stacking on other directories within the same partition that /home is on.) >From the CHANGELOG: 0.0.2 (2008-04-27) - changed to support Linux 2.6.25 - release root items when initial interpose fails John Ogness
