Hi,

I'm looking for a way to create a filesystem that is actually a view onto another filesystem. Something akin to what is described here:

http://bryanmills.net:8086/archives/2005/05/meta-filesystem/

Bryan's implementation, however, uses FUSE, which as far as I can tell is Linux-specific, as is LUFS. Is there anything similar for Darwin / OS X? If not, how do I best go about my task? I tried looking for information about the VFS, but all I found were mails on this list saying that it was now finally stable in Tiger. Anyway I'm not sure that VFS would be quite what I'm looking for (please excuse my ignorance, I'm usually an application developer).

Can anybody offer any advice?

The volfs filesystem does something like this, I think. Is it part of Darwin? Cheers, Chris _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
