Hi, I have posted the next release candidate for DazukoFS 3.0.0. One major bug and several minor bugs were discovered in the process management code. These have been fixed. If you encounter _any_ warnings or errors, please report them to this list. Even if you can't provide (or don't have time for) a detailed report, it is still helpful for me to know if problems exist.
3.0.0-rc2 also provides a new feature: ignoring processes. A device "/dev/dazukofs.ign" exists. Any application that opens this device will be hidden from DazukoFS and can perform whatever file operations it wants. As soon the device is closed, the application is no longer hidden. Only the application (or thread) that opens the device is hidden. This feature is off by default, but can be enabled by modifying the Makefile. EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_DAZUKOFS_IGNORE By setting the permission on this device, you can control which user processes are allowed to make themselves hidden. I chose to add this feature (after much debate) because many Dazuko-based applications need some sort of "freedom" to work undetected at times. This would also be necessary for any anti-virus software that uses a scanning daemon separate from the registered processes (as ClamAV would like to do). Also, this feature makes it possible to write a userspace wrapper-library that provides the old Dazuko interface, but actually uses DazukoFS. Although this was not main reason I chose to add this feature, it did play a role in helping me make the decision.
