fsrewrite

If you're a Solaris user looking for a powerful open-source utility, fsrewrite is an excellent option. It enables non-privileged users to run programs in a special environment where filesystem paths can be remapped virtually. This is particularly useful when dealing with programs that read from or write to fixed paths, as it allows them to be redirected elsewhere conveniently and without making any global changes.

Fsrewrite is compatible with Solaris 8 or later and runs smoothly on both SPARC and Intel processors. If you're interested in staying up to date with new releases or updates, you can subscribe to the creator's blog or check out the freshmeat.net project page.

The latest release of fsrewrite features several noteworthy updates, including support for virtualizing symlinks and BSD install support in the "configure" script. Additionally, improvements have been made to memory management and directory listing code. The release also addresses previous issues with multi-threaded guest processes and a bug causing CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to be ignored. There are also various miscellaneous changes to improve overall performance and user experience.

Overall, fsrewrite is a reliable and efficient option for any Solaris user seeking software that allows for virtual remapping of filesystem paths. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer, fsrewrite is worth considering for your next project.
