Not really. FUSE and the linux VFS have not much in common except they both have a similar set of operations (open, read, write, mkdir, unlink, etc.). But linux VFS is much more generic. > I ask because I've not found any reasonably quick way of making sense > of: > > http://lxr.linux.no/source/fs/udf/ Yeah, a working UDF implementation would be good. It's very easy to prototype such an FS in FUSE. Any takers? ;) > Thank you from that I found: > > the AVFS project page on sourceforge > http://sourceforge.net/projects/avf/ The homepage and SF project page of AVFS and FUSE are a mess. Sorry about that. > Also I see this FUSE is not sourceforge.net/projects/fuse/. That is true. the name FUSE turned out to be unfortunate, because it's an often chosen project name. Miklos
