#3This is a fantastic project. FWIW, Paragon's extfs for Windows uses either Dokany or the original Dokan, so at least one company thought this was good enough to use in production.
I'll just point out for anyone interested in trying this, expect BSODs: https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany/issues/344.
I'm also not sure how the Win10 Anniversary driver signing changes have affected the project - they're relying on a commercial sponsor for the signed releases.

There have also been a number of other discussions here, but I should get back to work instead of digging those up.

>expect BSODS
I wrote a (unreleased I believe) filesystem with this a couple years ago and my machine would reliably BSOD every time Windows tried to do the mandatory automatic updates. My friends say you can disable that but I haven't used Windows often enough since then for it to be a problem.

#7Oh good. Now npm install can stop telling me that fusefs is incompatible on Windows.

#8Why and when I need create a new file system on Windows other than FAT or NTFS?
This problem seems interesting.

#9I've been using an sshfs implementation for Windows which is based on this: https://github.com/Foreveryone-cz/win-sshfs
It works moderately well. It's incredibly convenient to have sshfs on Windows.

It's not about creating new filesystems, but using filesystem ui to browse any filesystem like hierarchy. For example using a potential implementation you as a user could be browsing S3, remote NFS, or gmail account where labels would be represented as folders and emails as text files.
