[Planetlab-users] FUSE on PlanetLab

[Sapan Bhatia]

Hi Jeremy and Lihua,

I don't have the answer to the FUSE question, but one of the things
that is going to be availably starting with 4.2 is the inotify API.
Granted, it doesn't get you as far as FUSE, but it would be useful if
all you want is to monitor the filesystem for events.
