Remember UMSDOS? UMSDOS was a Linux pseudo-filesystem overlaid on top of a FAT filesystem. All the attributes that couldn't be stored in FAT (actual file name, permission and ownership bits...) were stored on a separate file in the same directory.

It was super-slow, extremely fragile and, well, pretty much a hack. BUT, it allowed many, including myself, to have a "soft" entry to installing Linux at a time when disk space was scarce and repartitioning usually meant losing data.
