9. Twisted Filesystems

In the Hurd, translators are capable of redirecting filesystem requests to other translators, which makes it possible to implement alternative views of the same underlying data. The translators described in this chapter do not provide direct access to any data; rather, they are organizational tools to help you simplify an existing physical filesystem layout.

Be prudent with these translators: you may accidentally injure people who want their filesystems to be rigidly tree-structured.(9)
