Re: VFS Design
It's interesting that there's a separate list for files and subdirectories (and no symlinks, device files, ...), instead of a single list of "named children" with all the possible types as subclasses thereof. In essence, you have to make all the calling locations aware of all the types instead of trying to have them (mostly) oblivious to that.

May be some short description can clarify your intent that made you to design this diagram?
My previous account (embryo) was accidentally deleted, so I have no chance but to use something new. But may be it was a good lesson about software reliability
