This seems to be a raising again and again idea..
There is a project that is going on well.. Whether this thing is Good or
Bad..

Check out:

<URL:http://www.npwt.net/~ebiederm/files/>
Last update is from early april, but Eric's under heavy load but new
version is to come out on this week [probably?].
The last one is for 2.1.92. In the readme as I remember he has told
that it is as fast as ext2 in one of our old private letter.

It has:
- getting free_page from memory
- if ram is tight then it swaps to swap space
- stores directories in btree
- stores inodes in btree [going into next version, made by me]
..etc.. [please check out readmes]

One big disadvantage I see that a file occupies at least a page [4k], but
later I think we'll look after it..
