Not yet no, atm hostfs work is concentrated on passing the 'fsbash' test on the ROOL site (a automated tester that tries loads of different file ops). However we're now in a much better position to accept extra features into hostfs after having synced with Arcem (which passed more of the aforementioned fsbash tests than the old hostfs in rpcemu) and then fixed further issues. > One alteration I had to make to EmuFS locally, in order to be able to use CVS > under RISC OS, was making Unix hidden files visible to the emulator.

It appears you wern't the only person that was affected by this. Tom Hughes submitted a patch and it was added a week or so back http://home.marutan.net/hg/rpcemu/rev/30e49da10e06 > Another feature of HostFS/EmuFS which surprised me, when running on Ubuntu, > was to do with NFS mounts.

Hmm, given the flat fs model of linux, if a hostfs mountpoint worked in one place it really should have worked in another (the NFS mountpoint).
