I'm proud to announce a new version of my pet project 'mountlo', a
utility which works similarly to 'mount -o loop', but the filesystem
runs entirely in userspace.

While arguably it is quite useless, I like it because it combines some
of my favorite technologies (Linux, UML and FUSE) with very little
additional glue code.
Very cute.  I'm in the process of doing something similar, except I'm
integrating a FUSE server into the UML kernel to export the UML
filesystem to the host.  So far, I can cd and ls inside the mount -
lookup and readdir are implemented.
