I think you mis-understand. Mountlo seems to allow one to mount (through FUSE) any filesystem image for which there is a linux kernel kernel driver available. This is a very nice capability. But what I speak of is to port the 100% feature-complete (and well-tested) befs driver from the Haiku project's kernel to the FUSE interface. This should be a considerably easier task than porting it to the linux kernel vfs interface. Among other reasons for this, parts of Haiku's kernel (including their befs driver) are written in c++. -- Will Dyson - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
