Also, why shouldn't lofs grow similar support?
aha!
This to me sounds much much better. Put all the funky potentially
disasterous code, in lofs, not in zfs please :-) plus that way any
filesystem will potentially get the "benefit" of views.
Hmmm, no, I think we've been rejecting the idea of stacking filesystems
because there are lots and lots of gotchas in stackable filesystems.
but.. but.. you already have a "stackable" filesystem. lofs. you cant reject
what you already have, and are going to keep :-)
And if lofs is going to get the feature, there's not much point in adding it
into zfs natively.
I'm not entirely sure why views are necessary. Use cases? And what's
wrong with find(1)? :-) :-)
I think someone's drunk the microsoft/oracle "filesystems are databases"
punch...
