Not sure what you mean by piggybacking on top of an existing filesystem. It looks like lufs itself is just a link between the kernel and some userspace code. It isn't intended to be a completely new filesystem. >From what I can tell, its main purpose is to allow you to mount remote filesystems, e.g. through ssh. My guess is that the userspace code just provides functions to implement things like open, opendir, read, etc., which should be easy to translate into shell calls, over ssh. So it's definitely simpler than Reiser4. But I think you would be able to use it to prototype something like ~/music/by_artist, which just does some shell and id3 magic to find all the artists in ~/music and display a nice list. -- Hubert Chan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
