Aside from the question whether we really *want* a totally persistent system: The single level store doesn't directly follow from it. It probably makes sense in such a system, but I do not see why it would be mandatory. > then we need to start talking about the "filesystem" as a data store > that has objects and capabilities associated with those objects and > get rid of the classical concept of filesystems. Persistence only means that you do not strictly *need* filesystems; but if you use them, the concept of a filesystem isn't really different -- only it's role in the overall system. Having said that, I do not believe that we will go without a global filesystem -- even if applications will never have access to all of it. -antrik- _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
