Everything is working fine except that unlike windows the Mac has no appreciation of offlien files and does not display an icon overlay to visualize the files status. (Blocking does work)

I attempted this by changing the smb_fname->base_name in my vfs open_fn function. However this causes an inode does not match error. How can I redirect which file is open without modifying the original?

How about you an an FSP extension for those files that are offline and
keep the info you need to return the content of the special file in
the FSP extension?
