Hi,

At the moment DazukoFS is being researched by Frantisek Hrbata. We hope 
to have pre-releases available within a few months with a final official 
release at the beginning of 2006.

DazukoFS sits at an entirely different level in the kernel, which means 
that the events available to Dazuko are different and/or have different 
meanings. For example, at the filesystem level, there is no such thing 
as ON_CLOSE. However, there are other "similar" event types that may be 
able to be mapped to the current Dazuko events.

The implementation of DazukoFS as well as creating meaningful and 
effective mappings between the current system call basis and a file 
system basis will take time. Once the first pre-release is made 
available (2.2.x) then we will be relying on public support to ensure 
that we correctly and cleanly move to the VFS layer.

Hopefully this answered some of your questions.
