Hi All,

Yes sure.  Porting VFS operation from FreeBSD is difficult here(in case of
Unionfs)  than I expected as  to some extent  VFS interface   differs in
Solaris . And  Since this particular FS is a layer between the different FS
drivers and the VFS , the exact fit is crucial. The VFS operation s intended
to a particular FS driver must be passed on to that FS driver seamlessly .
That's a difficult taks I am doing at this moment. Its not like ordinary FS
where in we write FS driver and try to fit it with the VFS interface,  in
this case  design (How FS driver fits with VFS interface ?) dictated by VFS
operations at top level .But in the case of UNIONFS  , we are heavily
constrained by what we can do ,on top layer (VFS) and at the  bottom layer
(different FS drivers , note that we have N-Way Fanout here ! ) , (
something similar to jigsaw puzzle :-) ). But , I will manage it. It  would
be a great FS development exercise - "getting to know Solaris VFS
thoroughly" .

Thanks for your co-operation
Onkar Mahajan
