> Honestly, I'm not sure if this FS is mainline material or not. If it is, It looks mainline to me. It is far more relevant than most of the other file systems we support and it doesn't mess up core code at all. It's a loadable kernel module so the impact is basically nil, as well as being useful to other folk writing file systems. > Most of it was done by members of the ReplayTV community; I just used > their documentation.

If you used their documentation and didn't do the reverse engineering or read any ReplayTV code there shouldn't be any problems. The big danger is if you reverse engineer their code and you write new code you may copy their implementation even accidentally (or be held to have done so).
