Using MountableFileSystem with a backend other than `InMemory`

[NovaAndrom3da]

In the MountableFileSystem documentation, it describes how it acts as a standard InMemory filesystem. Is there any way I could use it instead with IndexedDB?

I have an example of this working on my project if you're interested.

https://github.com/DustinBrett/daedalOS/blob/main/contexts/fileSystem/FileSystemConfig.ts

{
  fs: "MountableFileSystem",
  options: {
    "/": {
      fs: "OverlayFS",
      options: {
        readable: {
          fs: "HTTPRequest",
          options: { index },
        },
        writable: {
          fs: writeToMemory ? "InMemory" : "IndexedDB",
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

You can simply mount an overlayFS (overlaying an IndexedDB FS) to "/".

That's true you may not even need MountableFileSystem depending on your use case. For me I use it because I mount other FS's after load such as IsoFS or ZipFS.
