Just do it :-) Seriously: This is certainly doable, but it is probably a considerable amount of work. Read-Only might be okay, but once you start doing r/w access, things will become very hairy very quickly. As an alternative route, I would rather search in the fuse filesystem space to see if such a thing exists for fuse. This assumes that you're running on a platform that fuse supports. Volker

Sorry, there's not much more than reading examples in modules/vfs_*, in particular as the interface has changed quite a bit with Samba 3.5. > Does opensuse platform supports fuse? I don't know it positively, but I would be VERY surprised if it did not. Volker |
