Is it possible to access XFS from a mobile device, Android or iPhone?

Hi,

> Is it possible to access XFS from a mobile device, Android or iPhone?

There's currently no XtreemFS client or app for mobile devices.
Theoretically, it would be possible to write one, though.

If someone is interested in coming to grips with it:
Assuming that no full Linux w/ FUSE, etc. is available on the device, a
possible approach is to directly link and access the libxtreemfs. We
haven't tried this yet, but we believe it should be possible, given that
the device either provides Java >=1.6 for the Java libxtreemfs, or the
depdencies listed at
http://www.xtreemfs.org/xtfs-guide-1.3.1/xtfs-guide.html#SECTION00613000000000000000
for the C++ libxtreemfs (except for "fuse*"). Of course, we would be
very pleased about any contributions from the community in this area. :)
