The Plastic File System is an LD_PRELOAD module for manipulating how a program sees the filesystem. This allows virtual filesystems to exist in userspace, without kernel hacks or modules. . Plastic filesystems include: - ``viewpath'' which unions a set of directory trees in a view path so that they appear to be a single directory tree. - ``smartlink'' expands environment variables in symbolic links, using the standard $name syntax, like DG/UX did with its ``e-links''. - ``log'' transparently logs all file accesses, similar to strace. - and many others! -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: powerpc Kernel: Linux willow 2.4.20-ben5 #1 Mon Feb 10 10:58:23 EST 2003 ppc Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~jaq
