Hello to all the people in the three mailing lists
(avf-user, ovlfs-user, lufs-users)
my name is Massimiliano Ghilardi and I have used avfs for some time.
I searched the web (and Sourceforge in particular) for Linux virtual filesystem
projects, and I found also the other two: ovlfs and lufs.
I have seen technical differences among them, yet all the three projects
share very similar goals.
I have two questions:
1. did any of you already know about the others?
2. do you think it would be a good idea to cooperate one another?
I have really appreciated avfs when I used it, and I would like to
see further features added to it (replicating fs, shadowing and
copy-on-write, ...), which some of the other projects already have.
I would like Linux virtual filesystems to become something standard,
but being a free software writer myself, I see the current fragmentation
on Linux virtual filesystems as quite a waste...
Regards,
Massimiliano Ghilardi
