We have a single mountpoint for these things, for example: /camera/mycamera/picture1.png /smb/workgroup/computer/share/file.blah How would you go about replacing a kioslaves which operate "somewhere in the middle" (i dunno the correct technical term) such as tar? In other words how would tar:/home/foo/bar.tar.bz2/baz/picture.png work with a FUSE (so reiserfs4 is not a valid answer to this question) filesystem?
