: I'm looking for a way to "shadow" an existing filesystem. Basically, so
: that any request to /newfs/<dirs>/<file> would be redirected to
: /var/newfs/<dirs>/<file>. This would be handled completely in the
: kernel. I figure that I can use the same inode numbers in the shadow
: filesystem as in the actual FS, and just redirect reads and
: writes. However, lookup is giving me problems (since it just says "find
: directory n in inode i"). Is there an easy way to lookup a prefixed path
: in another filesystem?

looks like medusa (http://medusa.fornax.sk) could do it...
though probably this different from what you wanted
