Told you, I can't code it. I could work on making an initial design for the most important part though, the datasystem that separates the two filesystems and holds the meta-data and data in self-contained atoms. I KNOW I won't get it right the first time, but I can give you a place to start.
I absolutely can not code anything in the kernel at this time. I've tried. I'll get it eventually ;-)
Citing the original message:
[QUOTE] I know I spout a lot of crap, and wish I could just do it all (can we get a "Make a small device driver for virtual hardware in Linux 2.4 and 2.5" tutorial up on kernel.org?!), but I think I've got some good ideas. At any rate, the good is kept and the bad is weeded out, right? [ENDQUOTE]
I actually started pretty sure that someone would want me to come up with an initial design for the datasystem that is used to control this. Not that I drew it out before-hand, mind you; I just thought someone would ask. I KNEW someone would tell me to code it, which is why I said I can't right off the bat.
