Hm, then it probably makes sense to look at implementing the bootstrap fsys_* RPCs in the future. IIRC, LiveCDs are big requestors of unioning functionality, so being able to work in this context would be a nice feature. > > > > * fsys_forward: in the previous discussion there is a short > > > > explanation why this RPC should be left implemented in the default > > > > version (returning EOPNOTSUPP); > > > > > > Well, if it can be easily forwarded, we should -- it *might* be > > > useful... > > > > Unfourtunately, as it has already been discussed on the IRC, I failed > > to overload netfs_S_fsys_* stubs by simple redifinition of the > > corresponding functions. > > I must admit that I don't remember what the problem was there... The problem is as follows. Usually, when you want to overload the default implementation of a stub (like netfs_S_file_set_translator), you just redefine this function in your code (which I successfully did for netfs_S_file_set_translator in nsmux, IIRC). However, when I try to do the same with netfs_S_fsys_* RPCs, my new functions are not called, so I fail to do the simple overloading. There probably is a way around this problem, but I think I will address this later, when I will have accomplished the time-critical objectives of the project. Regards, scolobb
