I have started the FUSE implementation, looks like the performance will be acceptable. Building fsatrace itself takes 0.66 seconds untraced and 0.71 when traced. This is the way I think...

@droundy the problem is that I'm afraid Apple isn't the only system that will implement policies like those at some point, so I think going for a general solution (and...

I think the FUSE approach is starting to look quite promising. On Mac OS the experience is smoother. No 'fuse' group. No suid executables. I'll try to test on linux...

The problem is that embedding it in fsatrace is just too much work. It would require implementing the C API and I don't see a clear benefit. The FUSE approach...

I've setup a new repo at https://github.com/jacereda/traced-fs Should compile on Linux and Mac OS so far.

Looks like fuse filesystems can be tested on Travis: https://github.com/mpl/camlistore/blob/master/.travis.yml As for Windows, I'm trying to setup a VM to figure out how it goes there.
