I would like to clarrify some questions of mine.

Previous discussions, on the Glass Elevator list, showed an interest in
developing file systems where an entry could refer to a node with data and also
contain children nodes. A archive file system might expose an archive as a an
archive and a directory of files. And a versioned file system migtht expose a
file as the current version and a directory of all its versions.

Basically can you do a read() and a readdir() on an entry and does the kernel
assume that if it is a file it is not a directory and vice versa ?!?

From what I know, Traker requires changing.
