Hi Tahoe I just picked up an email about fuse etc. and the stanford project and it set me thinking. In MaidSafe we have a Drive library, we are finalising some API parts of this, but essentially it's a cross platform virtual drive. So we use fuse, osxfuse and cbfs (for win). The CBFS part is a PITA though as it's licensed, we did a load of work with dokan and could not get it good enough, I would love to see an Open Source virtual drive for windows, but have not got there yet.
The drive actually can be configured (as we do) as a separate process controlled via IPC or similar or as a library component in a client application. If this is something Tahoe could also make use of then perhaps we should consider pushing this library out to a project in it's own right with shared development from both teams (it is all c++11 though). Anyway the library is here https://github.com/maidsafe/MaidSafe-Drive/wikiif it is of interest then we should see if we can set up a small team and make sure this API works with Tahoe and MaidSafe and hopefully others will also pick it up and use it. Drive is certainly a project many communities could use and we are probably all coding it to get it done (as a chore) and it should not be so much work or replicated work in so many cases. Let me know if this looks helpful. -- David Irvine maidsafe.net <http://www.maidsafe.net/> twitter: @metaquestions blog: http://metaquestions.me
