 prefixing a new root onto the front of the file name and then
 re-issuing (proxying) a request.
 
 all file requests, all stats, all opendirs, everything.

 i'm hacking fuse in an attempt to remove the userspace bits,
 merging the functionality of the userspace "fusexmp" - fuse
 example program - into the fuse kernel module.

 l.

 p.s.  if someone fixes the ioctl bug BLKRRDPART on a usb scsi
	   storage device which has been umounted with a "-l"
	   option, then i don't have to do all this work.

	 bugs.debian.org no #273055.

around you, funnily and coincidentally enough, life gets a lot better.
