Well, since it operates belong the bio level, I seriously doubt
it is about to virtualize the file system interface. After all, that's
already done, so why the need to invent something new?

I don't think I'd better answer that.

FreeBSD 5.0-current has a new feature called GEOM

The man page is here :

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=geom&sektion=4&apropos=0&manpath=Fr
eeBSD+5.0-current


Although all the talk I've seen around it deals with real disks The
framework looks like it will provide a path toward virtual filesystems [ at
least that's what I can see 8) ].

The expermental module that someone has tried is a disk encryption filter.

eeBSD+5.0-current

So I live in anticipation of the day when I can type attach9p2000
192.168.1.109 /dev/9p0
