It is likely that anything that is developed would need to be custom written with those factors in mind. Also be aware that VFS modules can be "stacked". For example, you could write an encryption/decryption VFS that modified the memory buffers, but otherwise passed through all the actual I/O calls, as well as the locking calls, to the existing UNIX or Windows VFS module. In that way, much of the flexibility of a stream based systems is already there, even if it requires a somewhat different implementation. -j -- Jay A.
