Perhaps there is an alternative way of doing this? Please remember to keep this development cross-platform; I use e-uae on Morphos as well as osX. Whichever method is come up with for signalling an 'os update' should be done in such a way that it doesn't rely on Linux features. Also - I'm fairly sure this is a limitation of Amiga's filesystems, with the possible exception of Samba mounted shares, though it may also apply to Samba. The OS expects to be the only thing using a filesystem, simply because back in the day it WAS. This filesystem 'emulation' is in fact emulation, and you're probably talking about creating a separate Amiga filesystem driver for this. (Maybe looking at the samba code for Amiga will help... or, heck, maybe there can be a FUSE type driver made for the Amiga side... rather than system-dependent programming.)
