Hi All,
I am trying to create an Mac OS X application which basically mounts a
volume on to users machines. I get a list of files and folders from our
server and this needs to be displayed in the mounted drive. The problem is I
cant use the usual SMB or AFP to mount my server directly. The server
exposes its files n folders thru a set of our own custom APIs.
I have checked a sample application to create an empty volume and mount it
at
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/EmptyFS/EmptyFS.html
But this sample uses .dmg file and I think it will be difficult to add and
remove files/folders into .dmg files so that we sync our mounted volume to
the contents in our server.
Have you read QA1242?
<http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1242.html>
It's got some good information and pointers to sample code. As it
suggests, you may also want to check out the MFSLives or some of the
source code in the Darwin project like webdavfs to see how it's done.
Either way, VFS development is off-topic for this list, you may want
to try the filesystem-dev list.
