[illumos-Developer] And Now for Something Completely Different (FUSE with doors)

[Gordon Ross]

Some people have asked me about this little PoC I had parked:
  https://bitbucket.org/gwr/illumos-fuse2a

This is a proof-of-concept experiment to see how well it might work to
use a VFS module similar to smbfs, with door calls to a user-level
fuse daemon. This is not yet a complete fuse implementation. It's
usable to browse files and read/write, but not much else. I'm
publishing it in hopes others might find the design interesting enough
to fill in the missing pieces. See the README file for more details.

I just cleaned it up a bit and merged it into the os-net-skeleton to
make it easier for people to build  and play with.  Enjoy!

p.s.
I tried to come up with some clever references to Monty Python...

or The Doors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_are_strange :)
but sorry, ran out of time.
