	Hi.

	I'm implementing a scheme based OS/environment and I've started
designing a file system/disk interface. I'm considering using persistant
objects instead of the traditional file heirarchy, and I'm looking for
advice, pointers and references that might help me design the interface.
I'd be particularly interested in descriptions of any existing systems
(although I don't know of any).

	Any help/suggestions/comments are welcome.
