Don't get me wrong - it's ok. But unless your app conforms to thier extensions, it's not that great. However, FUSE http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ is new hotness. You get it, and that builds a kernel module to allow FSs implemented in userspace to work. Then you Install the ssh-fuse thing, then follow the instructions. Under Gentoo you may have to unmask the fuse-ssh, but fuse is a kernel module. Cliff has it working on FC4. It's pretty simple. Supposedly 2.6.13, or 2.6.14 at the latest will have this as part of the kernel proper. Furthermore, in 3 or 4 majors lots of people would like to be rid of the current NFS implementation in the kernel. There is talk of replacing kernel-NFS with fuse-nfs. (Which I have never tested...) So, Fuse is cool and I think that was what Cliff was chatting up. js _______________________________________________ PDXLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlug.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxlug IRC: irc.freenode.net #pdxlug
