private data in inode and superblock structures

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

The structures inode and super_block contain a union called 'u'
for keeping FS specific data. This basically means that if I develop
a file system which is not part of the official kernel than the users
of my FS must recompile the kernel if they want to use it. Is there
a workaround?

TIA
