Can you be a bit more specific?

Did you actually look or did you just get hives when you saw "glue code"? The
current glue code is very far from what was in the original patch set. In the
first set there were all sorts of abstractions which have been purged and
almost entirely removed.

The current "glue code" really just partitions off the vfs interaction from
the file system internal operations.

This partitioning serves a purpose: it allows the code to be easily integrated
into applications etc (ie outside of the kernel) and also allows the
multi-version code to be supported more cleanly. Multi-version is incredibly
important in the RealWorld (TM).

Thanks. I'll try those.

It does pass fsx and some other tests.
