I have a filesystem implementation which does caching of both the
hierarchy and the files, to deal with intermittent connectivity.

I would like a way to list a file, but indicate to the user that it is
currently inaccessible if they're offline and it hasn't been cached.
In this case, I'm caching the entire hierarchy, so that is available
even if they're offline for a bit.

I was hoping that changing the mode so the user couldn't read or write
to the file would change its appearance, such as how the incorrect
file types look from Pages/etc, but it didn't(at least on Snow
Leopard).

Currently my best approach would be to mangle the filename with a
string like "OFFLINE", but that doesn't feel good at all, so I was
hoping some of you would have other suggestions.

MacFUSE is a great project and it is much easier to implement a
FileSystem than I expected.  Thanks for the great work!

Thanks, Ian
