Ah nice, I do not know how I missed that. Thanks for pointing that out.

Sure. I'll go on record saying that omfs_fuse was written over a weekend and
can not be considered a good example of anything. I already had a
proto-libomfs that I had made for omfsck and mkomfs, and wanted to see how
easy it would be to wire that stuff up into a FUSE fs. Pretty easily, it
turned out.
