Port PFS3 to Linux?

[pyrre]

I know PFS3 has been open sourced, and that rules.  But I have a request for anyone out there.  Maybe we could start some sort of bounty on it.  But would someone port PFS3 to Linux?  Or possibly even make a driver for Windows.

The reason I ask is, it'd be much easier to make backups / restores of your Amiga partitions if you could just plug it into a Linux machine via a USB bridge, and then use it as a native file system, rather than having to load it up via WinUAE (I'm not sure if FS-UAE has that ability yet, but I haven't tried it).

Anyone else think this is an awesome idea?  I know AFFS is out there for FFS, but I don't know many people who use that anymore (not to mention last I looked, it wasn't included in most Linux distros.)

If i am not completely mistaken, winuae is capable of using amiga formated hard drives directly in any computer. Windows or linux (possibly even mac os).... At least it can do that to amiga formatted zip disks. this i have tried... making backup a whole lot easier....
make a uae hardfile copy content from hdd to it. make infinite backups...
I do so to my zip disks. and it just works...
