I already said this before but just to repeat, since I'm confused: How would "lklfuse" be different from http://libguestfs.org/ which we at Red Hat (and a number of other organizations) use quite widely now for build systems, debugging etc. In the end it's just running the kernel in KVM with a custom protocol, with support for non-filesystem things like "install a bootloader", and it already supports FUSE. I'm pretty firmly with Al here - the attack surface increase here is too great, and we'd likely turn this off if it even did make it into the kernel. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
