[fuse-devel] FUSE for Mac OS X

[David S. <da...@cs...>]

G'Day,

FUSE seems like a sweet idea, and, with a Mac OS X port, should allow  
fairly portable file systems code (along with other benefits).

As a result of our uni network being firewalled for pretty much  
everything except SSH, I'm willing, able and motivated to do a port  
for OS X. I have a few questions:

1) Has anyone else attempted this? (i.e. am I wasting my time  
checking out the code and getting going).
2) Does anyone have particular opinions on what a FUSE implementation  
for OS X would look like? I've seen there's a BSD port of FUSE, and  
it would seem this is a good reference or even a place to start. The  
Mac OS X ext2 filesystem also seems like a good reference as to how  
to get a file system up and running in OS X.
3) What's the best way of managing the port in terms of version  
control, etc?
