I'm thinking of implementing a "memory filesystem" with VFS as a demonstration. The demo filesystems for local files and URLs are fine and good, but they are not very pedagogic for implementing virtual features. For example, they do not do much with attributes. A filesystem implementation which stored everything in memory would permit demonstration of the full range of features for VFS.
Towards this end, I've started a RamFileName, et al. Looking at my proposal, I realize that MemoryFS is a lousy name. :-) RamFS is a much better name: it is more clear (could MemoryFS refer to persistence instead of computer memory), and matches the names of existing RAM filesystem (on Linux).
How's this for a scheme?
ram:<path>
Where <path> is a regular Unix-style path and ram:/ refers to the root set of the RAM filesystem.
Cheers, --binkley
