I have kind of a crazy idea for a filesystem driver and I would like some input on its feasability, usefulness, whether I'd be reinventing the wheel, etc. I'm having some issues with read-only filesystems, and I was thinking that it would be nice to be able to change that filesystem on the fly by adding/removing/editing a few files and having the kernel keep track of these changes in memory... kind of a ramfs overlayed on top of the read-only filesystem. Is this even possible? Is it a good/bad/neither idea? Where would I start? -- John Tyner jtyner@cs.ucr.edu -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
