Am I correct in thinking that this is a > filesystem concept? Then surely sys/fs/ is the right place.... The only problem i have with the idea of a dirhash kmod is that i'd eventually would like to incorporate it further and then the kmod could come a legacy ;) So what would be wise.... its not that big: text data bss dec hex filename 1869 540 0 2409 969 dirhash.kmod maybe i am pennywise and pound foolish by not inserting it in sys/kern/vfs_dirhash.c ??
