%general-entities; ]> Fuse 3 FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a simple interface for userspace programs to export a virtual filesystem to the Linux kernel. Fuse also aims to provide a secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own filesystem implementations. &lfs121_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &fuse3-md5sum; Download size: &fuse3-size; Estimated disk space required: &fuse3-buildsize; Estimated build time: &fuse3-time; Fuse Dependencies Optional (to rebuild the API documentation), (required for tests), and looseversion (for tests) Enable the following options in the kernel configuration and recompile the kernel if necessary: Character devices in userspace should be enabled too for running the tests: Fuse 3 Install Fuse by running the following commands: sed -i '/^udev/,$ s/^/#/' util/meson.build && mkdir build && cd build && meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. && ninja The API documentation is included in the package, but if you have installed and wish to rebuild it, issue: pushd .. && doxygen doc/Doxyfile && popd To test the results, issue the following commands (as the root user): python3 -m venv --system-site-packages testenv && source testenv/bin/activate && pip3 install looseversion && python3 -m pytest deactivate The Python module is required for the tests. One test named test_cuse will fail if the CONFIG_CUSE configuration item was not enabled when the kernel was built. One test, test/util.py, will output a warning due to the usage of an unknown mark in pytest. One test named test_notify_inval_entry[True-expire_entries] may fail under certain circumstances. Now, as the root user: ninja install && chmod u+s /usr/bin/fusermount3 && cd .. && cp -Rv doc/html -T /usr/share/doc/fuse-&fuse3-version; && install -v -m644 doc/{README.NFS,kernel.txt} \ /usr/share/doc/fuse-&fuse3-version; sed ... util/meson.build: This command disables the installation of a boot script and udev rule that are not needed. Some options regarding mount policy can be set in the file /etc/fuse.conf. To install the file run the following command as the root user: cat > /etc/fuse.conf << "EOF" # Set the maximum number of FUSE mounts allowed to non-root users. # The default is 1000. # #mount_max = 1000 # Allow non-root users to specify the 'allow_other' or 'allow_root' # mount options. # #user_allow_other EOF Additional information about the meaning of the configuration options are found in the man page.
