I guess it might be possible to implement a limited Hurd filesystem under the library interface you mentioned (limited means, for example without io_map), but it will likely not be complete, possibly not standard conformant (for example with regards to timestamp counts) and definitely not fast. Note that I mentioned io_map and that its implementation will not be helped at all by such a simple library. That includes large file support. Large filesystems might trivially be supported by such a library if it always accesses the store directly, without any mapping. No mapping however means no cache, and that's where your performance is saying good bye. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
