To get a change to dick into fuse and the kernel I have started doing a
very very simple implementation of a metadata. Unfortanly did time not
allow to finish the implementation (even though I spend a lot of time
on it, but learning something new always take some time.). Here is
what I have done:
- I got FUSE up and running, using a project called
dbfs (not to confuse with [1]) which I found
at
http://kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fuse/dbfs.git/
- Get familiar with the code, and understand what and how it's
doing the different operations.
- Creating virtual files which could accept queries.
- Manipulate the files which are shown when typing
ls in a folder. But it did not use the queries as intention
Unfortunately was the code not stable in any way, but if you for any
reason should be interested in having the code base, send me a mail.
