On Windows, Linux and Mac OS X filesystems are a very low level,
kernel type programming. While developing kernel level code any and
all bugs tend to crash the entire system.
As a consequence a smart fellow decided to write a wrapper filesystem
that called into a user space process to fulfill file system requests.
This user space process is easier to debug and when it crashes, it
usually doesn't take the whole system down with it.
