The truth is, that when it is the tree, it is much easier to try. AFAIR, there was no feedback when kan_at_ had posted last snapshot. I fully understand that it is not ready yet for committing, but when you start to fell read-only support is ready, don't wait for the full read-write support and allow to commit it. Then you can work on r/w support in peace and (in parallel) enjoy feedback from users:) -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd_at_FreeBSD.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
