Yes, I also like the file system, I guess this is 2.6.28 material and you should have it added to linux-next when you have addressed the comments so far. One thing that would be really nice is if you could add fake-write support in the way that I proposed for cramfs a few months ago. This would make axfs much more interesting for another set of users, and keep cramfs a really simple example file system.
