Uh, I'm not sure whether I can use fuse on the target system. I'd prefer doing all in userland. Meanwhile I've hacked up vacfs to give it an "autodie" mode. It means: automatically terminate if the last file has been closed. Seems to work, but now idea how stable it would be in production ;-o The whole gets a bit more complex: I'm using venti as storage backend for an media library. People can upload media from one server (via an Joomla-based frontend) and later fetch them via another download server. That download server is just an minimal httpd which fetches by a given key from venti and sends back the result. So I could some more things to do: * store some additional metadata (at least mime-type) * maybe also add some permission information * when using vac, I have to use always the same filename within vac (ls'ing first would be event oo complex ;-o) Maybe it's better to code a new archiver for this. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ cellphone: +49 174 7066481 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
