Hi Mario, Is your idea about implementing this to modify the FileSystem interface so that each file system can return it's own roots? I noticed that it currently returns a single root as most Unix file systems do.
As far as the second part of the question is concerned, I implemented something simple that checks to see what OS is being used, and then creates the appropriate FileObjects. If you want I can post the code to the list. It might be useful as part of the LocalFileSystem. It doesn't require any native code. I'll enter a JIRA issue outlining the basic requirements, and leave the details up to the implementer's discretion.

I (personally) would not start developing native code stuff for VFS, though, a rough idea could be to try to find a student for the next Google SoC - if there is one and if no one else would start implementing such stuff.
