On a related issue, if there was a char generic_data[] member in the inode union that had a defined size (probably the size of the largest structure), people (like me) writing filesystems that aren't ready to be put into the sources yet could put data right in the union and know that it will fit without having to resort to using generic_ip and allocating an info block to store inode specific info. (Narly sentence huh?)
