9. Twisted Filesystems
In the Hurd, translators are capable of redirecting filesystem requests
to other translators, which makes it possible to implement alternative
views of the same underlying data. The translators described in this
chapter do not provide direct access to any data; rather, they are
organizational tools to help you simplify an existing physical
filesystem layout.
Be prudent with these translators: you may accidentally injure people
who want their filesystems to be rigidly tree-structured.(9)
