Hi all,

On my embedded ARM platform I try to set up an USB "device" which contains the file/folder structure of an UPnP Server.
A USB host (e.g. the Windows PC) should be able to view the contents of the UPnP Server.

To accomplish this I tried the following:

- I successfully use FUSE+DJMount to mount an Upnp-Server to a userspace directory (/tmp/upnp).
- I successfully load the Kernel Module "g_file_storage.ko" with e.g. "file=/dev/sda1" to set up a USB device (with die filesystem of a USB stick, connected to the ARM dev. board).

BUT: When I try to load the Kernel Module "g_file_storage.ko" with my userspace directory "file=/tmp/upnp" it comes to the following error message:

insmod: cannot insert '../g_file_storage.ko': Is a directory (-1): Is a directory
modprobe: failed to load module g_file_storage

In the documentation of the Kernelmodule g_file_storage it says that only block devices or single files (partitions) can be loaded. So this explains why modprobe fails!

Now I'm looking for a way to either mount my "tmp/upnp" directory to a /dev/xyz device or to configure the Kernel module "g_file_storage" to support userspace directories...
Or, can my FUSE file system be found in the /dev tree?

I hope you can point me in the right direction,

Thanks in advance,
Robert
