[ZODB-Dev] DBTab mounts

[Rocky Burt]

Ok... I think the problem here is that I'm doing a lousy job of explaining
the problem ;)

1) I have / mounted as a regular FileStorage
2) I create new Plone site at /Plone (which is now also in the FileStorage)
3) I now want to mount a AdaptableStorage sql volume at /Plone/Data,
   BUT, I want the mount point (the /Plone/Data object itself) to show up 
   as a Plone Folder instead of a Zope Folder.

I'm guessing that what I'm asking for is not possible without
tweaking the sourcecode to make the mount point class(es) extend Plone
Folder or something similar.

Is this a better explanation of my problem? :)

Regards,
Rocky (r0ky)
