Comment (by jessicah):
I still think removing the B_FS_IS_PERSISTENT flag is the right way to go.
The arguments against it really don't hold that much water, and would
introduce a series of needless and ultimately ugly hacks.
Another case to support removing the B_FS_IS_PERSISTENT flag is if you
boot Haiku from a different volume, the entire directory hierarchy when
booted from the previous volume doesn't exist any more.
And as for querying, Axel's idea of including mount points within a volume
(if they can be queried, such as packagefs is) would properly resolve the
issue that the change mentioned in comment:3 was intended to fix, and
gives behaviour that is also logical.
Any hints on where to look for adding support for passing a query on to
nested volumes?
