Yeah, I recently googled for info about Microsoft's WinFS, then wondered
if any linux filesystems were working towards what WinFS is trying to
be. I eventually stumbled upon namesys.com and its rather long
discussion of the reiserfs design, as well as Hans's whitepaper about
filesystems and semantics. Rather good read, albeit quite long.

I thought I'd give reiserfs4 a go, to see what the new features were all
about, but reiserfs4 for kernel 2.6 is still in experimental stage. Any
pluggers using reiserfs4 at all? Thoughts/comments?
