Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-12-04 Severity: wishlist * Package name : lufs-{utils,src} Version : 0.8.2 Upstream Author : Florin Malita <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://lufs.sourceforge.net/main/contact.html * License : GPL Description : Linux Userland Filesystem (preparing a better description)
LUFS is a hybrid userspace filesystem framework supporting an indefinite number of filesystems (localfs, sshfs, ftpfs, httpfs, socketfs, freenetfs, and nutellafs) transparently for any application. It can be regarded as doing the same job as the VFS (virtual filesystem switch) in the kernel: it is a switch, distributing the filesystem calls to its supported filesystems. However, LUFS filesystems are implemented in userspace. This would be a drawback for local filesystems where the access speed is important, but proves to be a huge advantage for networked filesystems where the userland flexibility is most important. This package will be packaged similar to ftpfs: one source package for module generation, one package with mount and other integration tools.
