I found another one: shfs: (Secure) SHell FileSystem Linux kernel module http://shfs.sourceforge.net/ * file cache for access speedup * perl and shell code for the remote (server) side * could preserve uid/gid (root connection) * number of remote host platforms (Linux, Solaris, Cygwin, ...) * Linux kernel 2.4.10+ and 2.6 * arbitrary command used for connection (instead of ssh) * persistent connection (reconnect after ssh dies)
