RAIT already exists in Amanda, in user space, but I'd like to see a generic

Why kernel space - why not a user space shared library you can add to
other tape apps?
A shared library which would override read(), write() in the program ? Why not...
But do you think you can chain/bounce, ioctl(), read(), writes from a char
driver to another ?
