Thank you for sharing this!
I always wanted to mess with building virtual filesystems but was unwilling to venture outside the standard library (i.e. libfuse) for reasons wonderfully illustrated in this thread and elsewhere. Somehow the idea of implementing a networked fs protocol and leaving system integration to the system never crossed my mind.
I'm glad more people are taking this stance. Large centralized standard libraries and minimal audited dependencies is really the only way to achieve some semblance of security. There is simply no other viable approach.
Edit: What's the license for this project?
hi, glad you like it and that it encourages you to try some things you've always wanted to do :-)
I was thinking for the license I'd do GPLv3. Would that work for you?
Depends on what you want to achieve with your licensing, but I personally think GPLv3 is a really good fit for a project like yours.
