Abstract: The vnode interface has succeeded in supporting a wide range of file system implementations over its 6-year history. During that time it has also had to accommodate evolution in file system semantics, and in the relationship between the file system and the virtual memory system. The effects of this evolution have been less than elegant, and pressures for further evolution are mounting. The evolution of the interface is reviewed in order to identify the problems it has caused, and a more robust... (Update)

...file system and forwards key requests to the authentication system. We used FiST [33] a tool for constructing stackable file systems [11, 27], to build our kernel resident code. This code is integrated with the Linux 2.4.10 kernel. The authentication system consists of two...
.... a more open design (as in MetaObject Protocols) Such a restrictive approach has been used in stackable vnode implementations [Rosenthal, 90] system call indirection [Jones, 93] and to an extent the limited reflective facilities provided by subcontracts [Hamilton, 93a] This...
