Could anyone point to any documentation about stackable vnodes and
the new file systems availble in the 4.4BSD-Lite release?
On ftp.cdrom.com, I've looked at the /usr/src/sys/miscfs
directory, but it's hard to glean the high-level going-ons of them
just by looking at the vnode ops. Worse, it looks like the
/usr/share/man directory is completely unpopulated, so I can't look at
fs(5).
I'd like to investigate whether 4.4BSD-Lite (in the form of
FreeBSD, most probably) can meet our needs of a research testbed. I'd
like to learn more without having to install the entire system on a
machine here. (Looking before leaping is the strategy here. :-)
Any chance you can point to some docs that describe stackable
vnodes and the new FS types?
Thanks in advance!
Gene
