Interesting. I'd not actually heard of this before, but yeah, as it
requires kernel access to set up, it's a no go ;(

The reading (and sometimes writing) are happening from the web. Some
data could be gotten via scp, but it would add something like a 1-2
second delay between every transaction.

Also included in the data read are directory structures so users can
browse the directory before selecting a file to potentially edit.

So pushing and pulling entire sections of the fs as they're needed
doesn't really work either.

Any other thoughts? :)
