Subject: Relay-Subsystem

Is there an updated description about the new relay-subsystem available? The
old relayfs.h is gone and you made quite a few changes. The whole
examples-tarball from http://sourceforge.net/projects/relayfs wont work.
(And i need blocking-relayfile IO.) :-)

When I updated Documentation/filesystems/relayfs.txt recently,
Jens advised me that it needs lots of work. I was hoping that
Tom Zanussi would get around to doing that.
For a current working example, see block/blktrace.c.

I had started on this then got sidetracked - in any case I'll post
up-to-date documentation along with an updated examples-tarball in the
next day or two. Sorry for any inconvenience...
