Call the extra file system layer to install a "driver". Users are trained enough by their
experience to have to install a driver for almost any external tool
Can this be done on a (windows) system by a user *without* administrative priviledges?

On the need for a new removable device filesystem Posted Aug 23, 2012 9:37 UTC (Thu) by eru (subscriber, #2753) [Link] Can this be done on a (windows) system by a user *without* administrative priviledges?No, at least not in Windows Vista and later versions. Not a big problem for people managing their own computer, but would hamper users in corporations. What would work is if the drive would appear to formally just contain a VFAT or NTFS filesystem, with a single file containing the actual new filesystem filling almost all the space, plus a userspace archiver program for getting at the files on Windows. But clumsy, of course.
