[ In response to Matt's note in kernel@ about needing a name for his filesystem ]
My creative (beer) juices are flowing, so indulge or ignore as you see fit. Dragonfly larvae are called "nymphs", which can be pronounced the same way but written as "NymphFS" or shortened to "NymFS" if necessary. Seems somehow fitting that eggs are produced in quantities of hundreds or thousands. Plus, lots of fun nymph biology terms can be used to describe different processes as they relate to the filesystem. As nymphs grow, they molt (shed their skin). Molting can maybe describe the process of "Physical space recovery" or "Performance reorganization". Plenty of other verbs like hatch, fossilize, and metamorphose from which to choose. Nymphs apparently often feed on mosquito larvae, but unfortunately not on penguins. *shrug* Geoff
