Dear group,


Context: FUSE filesystem for accessing data in a database.

I understand that notmuch needs to be able to read a file given a filename (including its path). Are there any more requirements on the filesystem. For example, I assume that filename modification is optional (maildir flag changes). But perhaps notmuch makes use of times stored with files or some other file property?


Best,

Erik
