(1) fs types are now names, rather than numbers, which they used to
be. COMPAT_09 will buy you binary compatibility; put it in
your kernel before you upgrade your kernel or user-land
sources, or you will be screwed. After you've upgraded, you
can toss it again, if you like -- i'll try to warn people
when changes are made that would require it.
(2) (1) allows LKM VFS's to be rationally used; check out the code, if
you want to know the diffs.
(3) i warned you that if you'd upraded your tree during the very
hectic period a couple of weeks ago that you'd have about 2
weeks to get your tree upgraded before i pulled some plugs...
Well, I'm going to do that this Saturday, after the tar files
have been made. within another two weeks after that, if
you're running -current right now, you'll NEED to upgrade
again. If you've not yet done the first upgrade, DO IT NOW,
or you'll be somewhat SOL after this weekend -- yes, the
binary snapshots will prolly be useful, but...
