Great.. That's really Solarisish! If it could be done in userland, and still be accessible for most applications then that is great. If the user things that such a plugin is of value for him then I do not see why he should not be able to use it? Again these are example of stuff that could be done if there was a plugin/extensible interface. You make it sound like everything on the planet should be predefined and included in the kernel. This is not what I was saying or wanted. From what I understood from Hans, there will be a way to load plugins without having to recompile reiser4 module (or the kernel). This is what I'd like to see. Some things/plugins may even be partially user-space. ~S > Tonnerre - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
