This idea came across my yesterday. How about a file (text or binary) that
lays in /dev (the /dev on the / partition, not a mount) or in /etc that's
opened up my mount or something and sends that fd to the kernel. Kernel
reads this file and uses it to keep permissions (mini filesystem w/o a data
area I would assume)
How hard is this to implement? I believe other programs do this as well
(smbmount comes to mind)
