The fuse replacement is super interesting. So you’d basically have a user space utility that provides NFS<->fs bridging? Would you support the existing fuse API? What does NFS not allow that Fuse would, if anything?

Thanks for your contribution!

one of the major attractions of the fuse abstraction layer is that once you have fuse you can interact with more exotic file system types without having to deal with new kernel drivers each time.

Instead though, you can translate the exotic file system types to nfs, and use the existing kernel drivers that already exist for mounting an NFS mount.
