[ANN] Reiserfs for ruby initial announcement

[aritter]

Hi!

I'm proud to announce the first reiserfs ruby implementation. It uses
the new fusefs ruby interface to mount the filesystem.
Usage:
rreiserfs dev dir

Limitations:
- no executable flag, no permissions supported
- file sizes are always 0 (file size can't be given to the fusefs
wrapper)
- if you open a file, the whole file (not the device!) is read to
memory
(fusefs wrapper limitation and needs some work but it could and
should be done)

Get it at http://www.cs.bme.hu/~adam/rreiserfs-0.1.gz

Sorry, I forgot to write that it's a read only reiserfs implementation.

If it's not a stupid question, could you explain what this could be used fo=
r?

Currently not much.. but FuseFS could be ported to Hurd or Win32 or any
other OS and you could get rid of the buggy rfstool and play your
movies on a reiserfs file system real time. And if you're interested in
reiserfs, you could play with this code much easier than with any other
implementation.
