At Plasmon we've developed a userland driver for our new UDO (Ultra Density Optical) drive using FUSE. To avoid the complexity of supporting a native 8KB sector size directly in kernel, we have instead used FUSE to allow us to work on filesystems in userland. That's made life _very_ much easier for us... FUSE is very cool - there are many useful things that can be done with it. Kudos to Miklos and others for their work on it! -- Steve McIntyre, Plasmon smcintyre@software.plasmon.com For more information on UDO, visit www.udo.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
