Hi people,
A straight forward question. Wouldn't adding a "file as a directory" mechanism more logical in VFS itself, rather than having each fs (like reiser4) to implement it seperately? My vision is to give archive-file (.tar, .tar.gz, ...) support in the VFS itself, and of course transparent to any fs and any user-land application. There are many archive FSs around, but how feasible would it be to implement the archive file support in the VFS at dentry-level? I'd be happy to share my proposal.
