Subject: [9fans] user-level file systems for Linux
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2004 20:57:42 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2188d527e30fa4f76b933b52ede07d9e@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)
There is a user-level file system driver for Linux
called FUSE that has just released a new stable version:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=350517
They have user-level servers to mount various archives
and various network protocols (http, ftp, smb).
The protocol itself looks fairly similar to the old 9P:

There is another similar project called LUFS
http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/
though it seems more complicated than necessary
and makes at least one (imo) critical mistake: no fids.
Actually there have been a handful of projects doing
similar things over the past few years, and they've all
died out. I'm optimistic about FUSE because it's almost
an exact translation of the VFS layer, meaning that it's
simple and as expressive as possible.
