If time to deployment is in question, TDFS is the way to go, and this would be what I prefer. Another idea of mine for this is that maybe they could be made compatible in the network protocol... lots of ideas, little time. > Then again, from the other side of the coin ... what are the chances th= at a=20 > kernel module would get into the main stream distribution vs the FUSE m= odule? Since FUSE is (L)GPL'ed, chances of getting it into base are slim. Then there's the question of who would be responsible for it, since the developer of the FUSE BSD module was also a SoC student and I don't know if he's interested in maintaining it that way - I'll go ask him. > As a stop-gap, have you considered submitting a TDFS port, to give it a= bit=20 > more profile? That is a good idea, I'll try to do it soon. (though it's not complicated to compile & try it by hand). --------------enig28E7029D3A88E3EFA082ACAC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGCV39ldnAQVacBcgRAuLcAJ4iQMc1jiOrZFpE3dJ9IpTm0UAq7QCdG54V 0UdLCuj04MRxcj00wpBmCE4= =TizQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig28E7029D3A88E3EFA082ACAC--
