Hmm... didn't realise that. I knew you could have more than one FS present in
the system, but I'd always thought there was just one active at any one time -
so something like a request to copy of file would be delegated to the code for
the active FS rather than handled at a higher level.
It's one of those things I'd just never actually needed to do before...
