Hi, I have posted 0.0.3 of nullfs. This version now locks the parent inode when making changes to files. This change will certainly fix race conditions when a file is modified simultaneously through nullfs and directly from the layer below it. However, it is still a bad idea to modify files directly under nullfs (without going through the nullfs mount) since nullfs is not notified of these changes. I have also done some significant rearranging of the code to get it into a style that is apporpriate for Linux mainline. I hope to present this version to LKML within the next couple weeks. As I mentioned previously, I am running nullfs to cover most of the directories on my personal machine. I have not experienced any problems whatsoever. John Ogness -- Dazuko Maintainer
