Could you build this?

Partial Implementing a virtual or aggregate filesystem following Plan 9 concepts requires deep systems programming, FUSE/vfs protocol implementation, and OS-level primitives.

What it would actually take: Building an aggregated filesystem requires implementing 9P protocol servers or FUSE bindings in C, Go, or Rust, handling low-level OS file operations (inodes, directory readdir, lookups, mount namespaces, concurrent locking). A vibe coder would struggle with race conditions, OS-level filesystem semantics, and deadlocks in the virtual file system layer without deep systems programming expertise.
