Neat! Now please explain how to use this on a Debian/Linux system :-)

P.S. Some FreeBSD folks were interested in userland filesystems about
a year ago
<http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=7216+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2000/freebsd-fs/20000123.freebsd-fs>
I don't know whether anything came of it, but in the discussion,
someone mentioned that arla and coda are two examples of distributed
filesytems managed by user-space processes. Midnight commander (&
hence uservfs) are built on coda, as I understand it. I looked
briefly at the coda and arla websites, but didn't notice any generic
"userfs"-type filesystem projects.
