 Hi,
I ported latest wrapfs code compile against 2.6.18 kernel.
Now I'm able to build module ,but there my be bugs.
insmod of the file system module that was built was successful.
But when I do a mount (mount -t wrapfs /home/abc/lower /mnt/wrapfs) I'm
getting unknown symbol file system wrapfs error.

Here is file_system_type structure definition.
static struct file_system_type wrapfs_fs_type = {
        .owner          = THIS_MODULE,
        .name           = "wrapfs",
        .get_sb         = wrapfs_get_sb,
        .kill_sb        = generic_shutdown_super,
};

Also attached complete ported wrapfs sources which are compatible with
2.6.18 kernel.
I'm immature in kernel development so I'm requesting to help in resolving
unknown file system error.

Thanks,
Ravi.
