I don't know if LanyFS will it ever make, and to be honest there are some corporations _not_ interested in its success, but if it makes it, this process might be less painful in the future. At least I have to try, and if we have a better solution in a few years, I'd be happy to drop the idea and go back to watching my movies again. However, I watch this thread and I take all the answers and mails into consideration. You are the experts, and I appreciate you take the time to discuss the general problem of compatibility and LanyFS in particular. I don't want to go to deep into the network vs. removable storage discussion, although it is an interesting one. For some reason this issue made a lot of noise, and I have to concentrate on replying to various mails and modifying a lot of code eventually. Thanks all of you for your comments.
