cofs is save to use for copy files between host and Linux.
For compiling it's usable, but very slow. The file is opened and closed
for every block you write or read.
Data integry is very stable. I can do loop mounts to manage coLinux
images, copying big zipped files from Linux to host and back. Never got
wrong datas.
Only the timing problems can stop some programs. (see the mail today
about emacs)
cofs is asynchron. At the time the file is written, colinux opens the
file exclusivly for this "write" and returns very fast to Linux. Some
programs have troubble with it.
Remember, that cofs based on fuseFS. All what you would do with fuse,
you can also do with cofs.
