Hi, as you might know, both kde (via kio-fish) and gnome (via gnome virtual file system) provide a userland filesystem-like API that allows to "mount" a remote filesystem using ssh. What I don't like about those solutions is that they require the application to use a particular API (kio slave or gnome vfs). Another approach, that provides a real filesystem interface, is the Linux Userspace File System. Quoting from http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/intro.html: LUFS is a hybrid userspace filesystem framework supporting an indefinite number of filesystems transparently for any application. It consists of a kernel module and an userspace daemon. Basically it delegates most of the VFS calls to a specialized daemon which handles them. Now the question: if I wanted to do something similar for FreeBSD, how would I do it? Any high-level hints? thanks Marco To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
