First, s/OWL/Owl/ ;-) Then, the Owl userland already supports the international (crypto) kernel patch, in mount and losetup commands. So we may add support for additional filesystems as well. I don't think I will invest much of my time into this as I have no experience using the modern Linux filesystems. Maybe kad@owl will do that. Maybe some of the users will provide exact suggestions on what needs to be changed in the userland to support what filesystem and why. Maybe they will also get involved in working on the patches and possible additional packages that may be needed to support the new filesystems. ;-) What I am not going to do is take responsibility for much optional kernel code which is obviously security- and reliability-critical, but itself doesn't provide needed security-related functionality. There's already too much code to review and fix in the system. -- /sd
