> But you /know/ this because you're a microprocessor designer as well > as a contributor to the FUSE project? AFAIK Luke never contributed to the FUSE project. Hopefully that answers your question. FUSE and microkernels are sometimes mentioned together, but I believe there's a very important philosophical difference: FUSE was created to ease the development and use of a very _special_ group of filesystems. It was never meant to replace (and never will) the fantastically efficient and flexible internal filesystem interfaces in Linux and other monolithic kernels. On the other hand, the microkernel approach is to restrict _all_ filesystems to the more secure, but less efficient and less flexible interface. Which is stupid IMO.
