Hi,

is there a way to create a file system in user mode (without patching the kernel) ?

I saw that a project called LUFS (Linux User File System) exists at lufs.sf.net but it's not finished. Are there any other ones ?

Thanks, Romain

You might want to take a look at PerlFs, that allows you to write a filesystem 
in Perl: 

http://perlfs.sourceforge.net/

Cheers

You can also take a look at FUSE:


http://sourceforge.net/projects/avf

I haven't tried it myself, so I'm just pointing you to it :)
