FIST allowed me to implement a test migration filesystem (poor-man's HSM)
on top of ext2 with 2.2.x. mfs is half kernel and half user-space
(http://www-internal.alphanet.ch/~schaefer/mfs.html). Unfortunately the
project is on hold (because lack of interest: disk drives are too cheap
nowadays).

FIST is based on the concept of stacking filesystems.

FIST is apparently available on Solaris, *BSD and Linux, but I only did it
on Linux.
