There is nothing currently like FUSE for MacOSX. It would be a good hacker project.. :) I'm looking for a way to create a filesystem that is actually a view onto another filesystem, preferably using some technology like FUSE. As far as I can tell, this has nothing to do with any of the following: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/ MetadataAttributesRef/index.html http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Performance/Conceptual/ FileSystem/ In computing, the Berkeley Fast File System (or FFS) is a file system used mostly by Unix operating systems. It is an optimization to the original filesystem used by Unix System V (called just 'FS') and has evolved into UFS which is used by most Unix derivatives today. hierarchical file system A file organization method that stores data in a top-to-bottom organization structure. All access to the data starts at the top and proceeds downward throughout the levels of the hierarchy. Most all operating systems use hierarchical file systems to store data and programs. For example, in Windows, the top of the hierarchy is the drive letter, such as C: or D:, followed by folders and subfolders. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
