Hi everyone, OpenAFS isn't the only open source file system that will be locked out of Windows by Microsoft's new certification requirements. Quite a few of these file systems rely on the FUSE interface. There seems to be a FUSE interface for windows. I don't know if Microsoft would certify the shim-like interface of FUSE, but I could see one of the open source foundations or big open source companies, like RedHat, supporting the cost of certifying a FUSE driver for windows. I'm thinking that the larger user-base of FUSE might cause that to happen. I understand that OpenAFS has a neglected FUSE driver, but I'm wondering if that's a workable option going forward.
Thoughts? According to the Wikipedia page, there seems to be one or two active FUSE drivers for windows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace Sincerely, Jason --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason Edgecombe | Linux Administrator UNC Charlotte | The William States Lee College of Engineering 9201 University City Blvd. | Charlotte, NC 28223-0001 Phone: 704-687-1943 [email protected] | http://engr.uncc.edu | Facebook --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are not the intended recipient of this transmission or a person responsible for delivering it to the intended recipient, any disclosure, copying, distribution, or other use of any of the information in this transmission is strictly prohibited.
