Once upon a time I read that linux makes it easy to write a dynamic filesystem such that you could create different file-based views of existing services. I have a disk full of *.flac audio files, and a database of information about those *.flac files. I have applications that want to find tagged MP3 files on the disk. I was thinking I could write an adaptation layer using a dynamic filesystem that displayed a view of the existing file hierarchy, but directory listings for *.flac get converted to *.wav, and when a read is done of a *.flac file, the dynamic FS transcodes it on the fly to *.mp3, using id3 tags from out of the database as necessary. I don't expect this system to have high performance, but I'd like to give it a whack anyway. Anyone know of a tool or tutorial that would help me get started writing this layer?
