I am not sure I answered all the questions,
anyway, I updated the web site.
http://www.digitalinfra.co.jp/20080720/hashfs.20080723.html

Probably, the page does not tell all of
your questions, so ask me freely if
you have any problem.

Especially, I dont know much of vserver like you,
so, using vserver with HASH FS is
what I need your opinions.

And, in the long run,
you would be able to enter VE like this.
# vserver enter http://vserver.debian.org/etch
Your opinion is?
