Hi,
Apologies for the cross-post with filesystem-dev - that didn't look like it gets much traffic, so thought I'd try here.
First off, I understand that Apple doesn't supply any sort of stackable file system or filter driver mechanism - I've read the relevant tech notes and documentation. What we want the ability to do, though, is essentially filter a mounted SMB volume. We need to be able to map files on the mounted volume to a separate file server, transparently to the user. We've looked into the OSXFUSE option and the option of implementing our own file system, but those solutions seem awfully heavy-handed for what we want to do. It's my understanding that we'd essentially have to duplicate all of the existing SMB functionality, since we'd be implementing a totally independent file system, and not stacking onto existing functionality. So, my question is - are there other options for handling this sort of thing?
Thanks for any info,
Jeff
