I'd like to put that high on the priority list > for kernel development. in theory you are right. in praxis fnodes are everywhere throughout the file system (as you probably know), and there's a reason we left them in the kernel the last few years. it's probably fairly easy to convert a stable kernel into unstable by trying to convert this. not that I wouldn't like to get rid of the fnodes (it would be a very good thing), but it's probably a non-trivial amount of work (and risk) involved with that. dont start it if you are not prepared to finish it.
