I want to create a virtual filesystem based on a relational database.
It might run as a server on a different machine, but it has to be
available like a normal filesystem, either shared using SAMBA or
windows filesharing or thru something else like WebDav.
The idea is that I scan a local filesystem and then create relations
between those files stored in a relational database, eg. a create a
group called family, add a bunch of files related to my family in that
virtual group/folder. When the user accesses the virtual filesystem
and types ls or dir the result is a list of groups, in my case ., ..
and family. The user types "cd family" and dir/ls in that virtual
folder will show all files in that group. How can this be done? I've
looked at dav, especially mod_dav and fuse. I want to be able to
access the files ( and even add files, like if I copy a file into the
family-folder, a relation in the relational database will be created,
but the newly added file itself might be stored some other place on
the filesystem, based on extension or perhaps EXIF-info if it's an
image being added ) using standard filesystem tools, like explorer on
win32 or the shell on linux.
I don't think I can use WebDav directly, because I want to control
what happens if somebody copies a file into a virtual folder, but I
don't know much about webdav so I might be wrong.
Any hint or clue would be appreciated.

All,
I've been trying to find a generic WebDAV library (possibly with the
extra versioning extensions) in Python for a project I'm developing with
mod_python. Ideally, I'm looking for one which which wraps around the
XML and lets you instantiate classes for each request, like:
req = PropFindRequest(myRequestText)
resp = PropFindResponse(files)
I've found two possibilities so far:

I need to store a large number of files in an archive. From Python, I
need to be able to create an archive, put files into it, modify files
that are already in it, and delete files already in it.
The easy solution would be to use a zip file or a tar file. Python has
good standard modules for accessing those types. However, I would tend
to think that modifying or deleting files in the archive would require
rewriting the entire archive.

I'd like to have a virtual folder for a special device to be integrated into
explorer's filesystem view. The preferable way would be to have an individual
drive. But it is also acceptable to have a virtual folder. The only
requirement I have is that explorer should behave like for real filesystem
folders (d.h. file types, context menu, columns, view, toolbar, etc). This
means every application may access the contents on that device, using...

Hi all. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but here it goes.
I'm trying to create a file system using the File System in User Space (FUSE) kernel module. From what i have understood, i need to implement certain functions, like the read, write, and delete that should be referenced by the fuse_main function. Now whenever my program uses the standard C functions, it references the functions i created to manipulate the file in my file...

Hi all,
is there a package in python that allows to mount/umount and format
(to ext3) a filesystem? I know that this is possible by just calling
the os commands 'mount/umount and mkfs' but this would imply to have
to change sudoers to run the script as non-root.
Thanks
Ric
