How to stack libtrivfs-based translators

[Sergiu Ivanov]

Hello,

I have written a libtrivfs-based translator (the source code is
supplied in the attachment), however I have problems with stacking it
upon itself. I compile it using the following command:

  gcc -Wall -g -ltrivfs -lfshelp mangle.c -o mangle -DDEBUG -DMANGLE

Then I stack it upon an untranslated node foo, which is a text file
containing the text: 'Hello'. I use the following command:

  settrans -a foo mangle

If I now try to stack mangle upon foo again, using the command:

  settrans -L foo mangle

I receive the following error message:

  settrans: foo: Operation not supported

I also tried settrans -aL foo mangle (not sure if this matters), but I
obtain the same result. When I try fsysopts on the translated node foo
in the following way:

  fsysopts foo

I get a similar error:

  fsysopts: foo: Operation not supported

As you can see from mangle.c, I print a message in a log file
whenever any of libtrivfs callbacks is called. After the two
invocations of settrans, this file still contains the greeting message
only (i.e. "Log session started").

Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
