Hello Pascal,
I would like to emphasize, that it's not a 0.9.7 version. It's a
pre-version released for anyone, who would like to finish my work on the
userfs, that it could completely work on 2.2.x kernels with glibc
environment.
The kernel module, the mounting utility, as far as I remember compiles
and runs well. Unfortenately, I really _don't_ like the C++ stuff, so I
let it unfinished in this field. That's why e.g. the ftpfs doesn't compile
well. Nobody let me know, that someone would work on it.
A solution? Try an older package either from Michael McCormack or from
Jeremy Fitzhardinge, which should compile well on kernel 2.0.x and libc
environment.

Or perhaps soon you could try my new ftpfs, httpfs filesystems, which
use CODA interface. It's almost finished. I'll let you know, when I will
smash it out to the world ;-) I hope, the 1st November could be the date.
Or perhaps you could have a look on another similar projects. I know
they exist, but I don't remember the www addresses. Sorry.
