Well, take a look at uservfs.sourceforge.net (used to be called
podfuk) and probably avfs.

We are doing things like tarfs using CODA and userspace servers --
that has big advantages on not crashing machines, plus being portable
(currently Linux and Solaris). [Do not try podfuk on latest kernels:
something went wrong. 2.4.0-test5 should be okay].

Here's example session:

pavel@Elf:/tmp/unarj241a.tar.gz#utar/unarj241a$ ls
