well, my first responce was that it was an encryption system for disks, but then found http://www.ricardis.tudelft.nl/~vincent/fusesmb/ saying it is a network browsing system. then also found: http://rescuecd.pld-linux.org/download/2006-06-18/RPMS which lists fuse as the following: ntfsprogs-fuse 1.13.0-3 NTFS FUSE module (ntfsmount) and libfuse 2.5.3-3 Filesystem in Userspace so, i guess my answer is i have no idea --- ken jones <kjones@ziplink.net> wrote:
Would somebody please explain to me what exactly FUSE does?
I succeeded in using fusexmp to mount my root directory into /tmp/fuse2.5.3/example. I also succeeded in unmounting with fusermount -u. I do not understand why I should want to.
This all started when I upgraded the kernel and the type ntfs file system on the other half of my dual mounted system refused to "mount". I got distracted into FUSE then remembered to install the matching kernel-module-ntfs below.
Now I am again successfully using 'smbmount' to mount ntfs file types. I am running Fedora 2.6.17-1.2142_FC4 with kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.17-1.2142_FC4-2.1.27-0.rr.10.4.i686.rpm
What good is FUSE to me? I've Googled till the cows come home, but I do not understand the responses.
