LUFS enabled kernel

[bhsx]

LUFS, http://lufs.sf.net is a kernel module and daemon that creates "remote filesystems" out of ssh, sftp ftp, even gnutella (if you can believe it) and other protocols (soon to include http and webDAV among others) and allows one to transparently mount them as local filesystems. This would obviously bring great things to the world of Knoppix. Imagine a quick rewrite of the persistant home scripts to mount your "real" /home via LUFS and it's sshfs... usage is simple (from the homepage):

Mount example:


[user@localhost]$ lufsmount sshfs://[email protected] ~/mnt/lufs –-fmask=444 -–dmask=555


or, using mount:

[root@localhost]# mount -t lufs none /mnt/lufs -o nosuid,fs=sshfs,host=lufs.sourceforge.net,username =mali,fmode=444,dmode=555

I can't even begin to imagine where this could bring linux in the enterprise, but as far as Knoppix is concerned, it should become a new standard inclusion. It could raise the usefullness of Knoppix by an order of magnitude. Please get this in there folks.

try a remaster and see how it goes.

I really wanted some thing like this, imagine no more problems in writing in NTFS
