This kind of thing is what I was hoping to hear. :) Are there concrete plans yet, or is this still in the air? My immediate thought is that a fairly straightforward userspace server using the existing nbd API (would need CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD, which isn't currently enabled) should be doable without too much work. AFAICT it wouldn't even require a read-only store underneath (at least not for testing -- so it doesn't need to wait for btrfs), it just wouldn't be able to handle changing file sizes or other directory metadata, might confuse the client side on any re-reads of modified file data, and would have to synthesize I/O errors for re-reads of things like deleted or truncated files... What about the related question about a "standard" gadget profile for MeeGo? Is there a need for a MeeGo-specific debugging/development transport like adb, or are per-device features sufficient?
