Data blocks don't go to storeio. The included libstore communicates with storeio about the storage type and does the actual reading/writing etc itself (see file_get_storage_info, store_create, store_encode and store_decode). ext2fs is linked to libstore, of course. > another IPC of the translator to storeio (again > via Mach) bzzt :) Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
