london opensolaris users group LOSUG
went there last night - two good presentations. beer/food…
- a tool to display system configuration in a sort of graphical manner, it just proves that parsing unstable command line output is fraught with uncertainty - of course is there a stable way to do this ?
- a presentation on FUSE - File system in USErland . which is a generic filesystem shim and a library that talks to the shim and you implement all the vfsop type function in userland eg read/write/stat/open/sync… you only need to implement the ones you need. The presentor had a “hello world” filesystem that had one file and you can guess its contents - took 20 lines of code. Its not fast but very useful… demo’ed ntfs on solaris.
