True.

VFS pros: supports file properties, user model. Only your database

You made me realized I DO need to use file metadata, so this is the only
option to me.

VFS cons: slow(er). More difficult to implement.


So, i guess my file upload processing page should login with an appropiate
user, then create the vfs file, write to it, publish the folder , and
logout.....
