It can be an extended attribute, no? Doesn't FUSE support these now?
If the MIME type is essential to Freenet's handling of the file, have
it in a separate file so the concept is portable to OSes beyond
Linux/FUSE. If it's just a frill, put it in an extended attitbute if
you like, but not in the file text itself.
Oh and you shouldn't have to mkdir for a get!
Why not? The directory is just an abstraction in memory; no disc
directory is being created. (Unless FUSE has some fundamental design
flaws.)
