[New: openFATE 318432] FUSE filesystem to keep /etc/ valid
Feature added by: Sławomir Lach (Lachu) Feature #318432, revision 1 Title: FUSE filesystem to keep /etc/ valid openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Sławomir Lach (lachu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Editing files is road of pain. User can destroy file, so system can be broken. I suggest to add fuse-based file system with BFS(language to describing file structure) to keep file validated, while closed. It buffer or write in /tmp every write operation and check consistency on file close. If file is good, filesystem will replace file placed in /etc. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318432
