I am trying to find out how to create a device which can be mounted
and ejected in the same kind of way as a disk image. I.e. a disk image
isn't a real physical device as such, but it can be mounted and
presumably there is a process which acts as a translator between
the contents of the disk image and the kernel's wish to reference it as
a filesystem.
Also would it be necessary to write this, or part of it, in kernel
space, or is it possible to do it entirely in user space?
How about making a custom WebDAV server that "hosts" the virtual
filesystem, and then just use mount_webdav ?
Just a random idea.. at least it would work entirely in user space.
