Thanks. stub(8) looks pretty much like what I really need. However,
it got me thinking: what if I need more stubs than one -- for every
one of them there'll be a separate process serving one file, right ?
Even with COW paging this sort of looks like an overkill, wouldn't
it be possible to serve all "stubs" with one process, using the
third ("spec") option of mount as a distinguishing factor.
Thanks,
Roman.
