[ANN] Reiserfs for ruby initial announcement

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 for?

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.
