We're on Red Hat, so same question applies to that distro, if anyone knows.
Kinda sorta. We'll be going down the FUSE route. It's being targeted for our next updated, RHEL 5.4. This work is being done via Red Hat BugZilla 252372 Not familiar with FUSE? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-fuse/ The description:
FUSE is particularly useful for writing virtual file systems <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_file_system>. Unlike traditional filesystems, which essentially save data to and retrieve data from disk, virtual filesystems do not actually store data themselves. They act as a view or translation of an existing filesystem or storage device. In principle, any resource available to FUSE implementation can be exported as a file system.
The best part: It's 100% upstream in the Linux kernel. -- Shawn Wells Global System z Platform & Alliances Manager Cell: (+1) 443-534-0130 (GMT -5) EMail: s...@redhat.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
