Yeah, didn't forgot that part, and it's completely my intend. Intrigeri told me you were planning to work on this todo item soon, and I suspect it was one of the reason for me to vortex on this : put down what I had in mind. I know that you have an agenda, so on my side I can take care to have spare time when you'll be ready. I guess we should maybe setup an IRC meeting to discuss this issue, at least both of us who intend to go on on this task, but also anyone who wants to be part of the design process. > Just so no one wastes time examining this, I just want to point out that > this is exactly what we need; I played with the dummy_hcd and > g_file_storage (which also is needed) modules some weeks ago with this > exact use case in mind.

That is a great news! It makes one of the top-most hard-to-implement feature easy like a breeze it seems. I believe we'll have hard time to get this into the official Debian kernel though, meaning we'll probably have to maintain a custom kernel. All in all I wonder how it behaves with kvm, and in nested environnment. bert _______________________________________________ tails-dev mailing list tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev
