I just explained the kernel interface and how the kernel use the xfs and 
so on. Nothing more.

If you think you can ignore the rules please don't wonder if something 
didn't work as expected.

If you like to make your users happy just do it but if the HostFs do it 
wrong it's your HostFS that is buggy and not the FreeMiNT kernel or the 
xfs interface.


Regards,
Frank
