hi,

I writing another non-disc file server after a gap of a few years
and am making mistakes.

is there a written spec of how its supposed to work?

For example:

the initial stat of a zero length name should return the Dir
of the root dir.

and a walk up to the root directory tells mount driver that
you want to pass control back to the parent filesystem.
