Talk:Virtual directory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I deleted a fair amount of text that seems to be uplifted directly from http://www.networkworld.com/news/tech/2004/092004techupdate.html and / or http://penrose.safehaus.org/FAQ. Tenbaset 06:47, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

I removed the following link, which disappeared when Oracle purchased OctetString:

• Difference between virtual and meta directories

[edit] Can we add a section for file systems?

Virtual directories are implemented by modern file systems such as NOOFS. A virtual directory on a file system is a folder with dynamic contents defined by a filter or query. In NOOFS it's a SQL query. This directories are natively implemented in the kernel of the operating system. Normal user land applications do not need to be modified to access to the virtual directories.

Example: A user can create a directory called "today": In this directory the user can find all today modified files.

Can we please add a section about file systems in this article?

[edit] Virtual Directory Vendors

removed section per Wikipedia is not a directory. Wikipedia is not a repository for lists, directories or Advocacy of commercial products and/or websites. NPOV requires views to be represented without bias, this applies not only to article text, but to companies, company lists, products, external links, or any other material as well. --Hu12 21:52, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Suppose I want to go to a site, but get the following message:

Directory Listing Denied This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.

Where does this message originate? Brian Pearson 02:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
