Hi, Actually I've considered this before. My goal is to add a mini FUSE fs interface so that it can have read/write support in grub2 ! Of course, the startup fs modules are still read-only, but after entering normal mode, users can switch to the fuse driver for more functionality. -- Bean gitgrub home: http://github.com/grub/grub/ my fork page: http://github.com/bean123/grub/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
