Hello

I think, that changes that I made can be used by you "ZaitcevFS" all you 
need for this is just add support for it to LFS middleware or build your 
own middleware. And your middleware may use special hooks 
(setup_partition) for prepare file system for files.

I create separate project (LFS middleware https://github.com/nexenta/lfs) for now there are only 2 supported file system types (XFS and ZFS) there. Also this middleware provide API for getting file system status information (for example, for ZFS it's current pool status, etc).
