1 This file contains a listing of various other VFS modules that
2 have been posted but don't currently reside in the Samba CVS
3 tree for one reason ot another (e.g. it is easy for the maintainer
4 to have his or her own CVS tree).
6 No statemets about the stability or functionality any module
7 should be implied due to its presence here.

16 Subject: DatabaseFS VFS module
20 I have created a VFS module which implements a fairly complete read-only
21 filesystem. It presents information from a database as a filesystem in
22 a modular and generic way to allow different databases to be used
23 (originally designed for organizing MP3s under directories such as
24 "Artists," "Song Keywords," etc... I have since applied it to a student
25 roster database very easily). The directory structure is stored in the
26 database itself and the module makes no assumptions about the database
27 structure beyond the table it requires to run. You can find it at:

32 Any feedback would be appreciated: comments, suggestions, patches,
33 etc... If nothing else, hopefully it might prove useful for someone
34 else who wishes to create a virtual filesystem.
36 Thanks for the great product and keep up the good work.

44 "samba-vscan is a proof-of-concept module for Samba, which
45 uses the VFS (virtual file system) features of Samba 2.2.x/3.0
46 alphaX. Of couse, Samba has to be compiled with VFS support.
47 samba-vscan supports various virus scanners and is maintained
