Make a read-only version; this will make transition from HTFS to
{ext2fs, reiserfs, xfs, jfs, ...} easy. Read-only also has the property
that it won't cause on-disk corruption; at worst, you get in-memory
corruption...

Actually there isn't. Hmmm, sounds like I'll have some hacking to do... But I have to ask if this is something that would actually be desirable. Given how rare it is, does the Linux community actually want to have YAFS (yet another file system) added to the list, especially for an even more rare OS like OpenServer 5.0.x?

Hmmm. With additional support for CMD's HD-format for CBMFS, this might
just work. I've got a CMD HD somewhere; maybe I should throw a 1 GB
SCSI-disk into it and get hacking... Would be cool to be able to have
the root file-system on a CBMFS-partition.
Ehr.

cbmfs? Might be a bit tight on disk space though. It would
definitely be non-{normal,popular}.

Fun thing to do as root, in the root directory:
chmod -R 666 *
Just as bad as rm -rf *, but more fun.
"The files are all there, but I can't do anything with them!"
And you can't change permissions, since chmod isn't executable either. :-)
