I already mentioned rkfs, which I also gave a try.

You talked about a userspace library libfs - which I didn't found. anyway ... Let me just say "Thank you" again - for your attention and the hint about fuse. Seems like fuse is an appropiate tool to do the job. After extending the functions with debugging stuff, the samples from fuse are a good starting point. With a little patch of fuselib the first prototype is already working :) ... and I'm happy about caring only about the things I like to care about. OK, with fuse there will be no "information hiding" in OO-sense, but I'm sure, I'll find a way to make it usable. kind regards Santiago kind regards Santiago -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
