<div>If people of RTEMS trust me, I would like to make it a long term plan, but at current stage, I feel I am not experienced enough to undertake that. </div>

<div>Redesign FS infrastructure for an OS is really a serious task, though in RTEMS, IMFS and jnode provide a good start point - they in fact accomplish lots of work the VFS layer does. Maybe, after sufficient work on FIFO, file descriptor, and aio, I will be more comfident of trying.</div>
