Filesystem resource managers

Filesystem resource managers register a mountpoint with the process manager. A mountpoint is the portion of the path that's registered with the process manager. The remaining parts of the path are managed by the filesystem resource manager. For example, when a filesystem resource manager attaches a mountpoint at /mount, and the path /mount/home/thomasf is examined:

/mount/
Identifies the mountpoint that's managed by the process manager.
home/thomasf
Identifies the remaining part that's to be managed by the filesystem resource manager.

Here are some examples of using filesystem resource managers:
