Filesysbox, a FUSE compatible filesystem layer for MorphOS. (2008-2011)

Quick FAQ

What ?
A FUSE compatible filesystem layer.
It manages locks, notifications, file handles, packets, update timeouts and more, freeing the filesystem of these jobs.
It is written from scratch in C and implemented as a shared library of re-entrant functions.

Why ?
I wanted to brush up my C and porting skills and I find filesystems interesting as well as the end result useful.

Why re-implementation instead of FUSE?
MorphOS uses completely different API's (and already in "user space" btw), so original FUSE code is of no use here.
