AKAImBatman's Journal: Ok, so I wasn't early

Well, I did try to get this article out early, but it just didn't happen. So here we are on Thursday Night (as usual), and I've just published the second part of the Followup series. I highly recommend you read this one, because it covers a lot more detail about how the DBFS can be implemented and used. Feel free to submit the followup to any news source that will take it. I certainly don't mind the traffic. ;-)

Another new and interesting thing you'll find on my blog is a small white box located underneath the skyscraper ad on the left. If you type your email address in there, you can sign up to receive an automatic email every time I publish a new article. I'm running it through the Notify List service, so we'll see how it works out.

Enjoy!

No need?

I know. I just figured I'd provide people with another option. (You know, in case they don't want to be my friend. Sniff.) ;-)

DBFS

Hi!

I have been thinking about a DBFS for quite a while now and I have read your article about it on your blog. It is a very interesting read and puts some of my thoughts into words, but I want to put forward a slightly but radically different approach to the DBFS:

1. Get rid of directories.
2. Introduce plugins.

I think that directories are unnecessary in a database filesystem, but if needed, they can be emulated using (2). This eliminates the question of where to put a file. It is a radical approach since
