Re: VFS/kernel (was 'gnome')

[Quantum Seep <qseep shells technojunkie com>]

Is it possible/reasonable to design VFS into a kernel so that the actual
filesystems could be user-level processes which talked to the kernel?  Then
the VFS would be transparent to the applications using it.  Obviously this
would not be used for core filesystems but would provide an easy way to add
VFSs on the fly, without knowing what kind of kernel the user is running.  I
understand this is how NFS works.
