Currently, no. We (the stackable fs) would need to invalidate the page associated with ext3. ext3 won't invalidate our pages, so we would have to do it ourselves. To do that, we'd need some kind of callback so that when an ext3 page changes, we can propagate the change. > How ext3 e.g. always get the updated data on read. I am not sure what you mean.
