4 This is a test release. It seems to work quite well. In fact, I can't
5 find any problems with it whatsoever. If you do, I want to know.
10 To install this module type the standard commands as root:
20 This module requires the FUSE userspace library and the FUSE kernel module.
21 See http://fuse.sourceforge.net/
26 This is contributed to the FUSE project by Mark Glines <mark@glines.org>,
27 and is therefore subject to the same license and copyright as FUSE itself.
28 Please see the AUTHORS and COPYING files from the FUSE distribution for
34 There are a few example scripts. You can find them in the examples/
35 subdirectory. These are:
37 * example.pl, a simple "Hello world" type of script
39 * loopback.pl, a filesystem loopback-device. like fusexmp from
40 the main FUSE dist, it simply recurses file operations
41 into the real filesystem. Unlike fusexmp, it only
42 re-shares files under the /tmp/test directory.
44 * rmount.pl, an NFS-workalike which tunnels through SSH. It requires
45 an account on some ssh server (obviously), with public-key
46 authentication enabled. (if you have to type in a password,
47 you don't have this. man ssh_keygen.). Copy rmount_remote.pl
48 to your home directory on the remote machine, and create a
49 subdir somewhere, and then run it like:
50 ./rmount.pl host /remote/dir /local/dir
52 * rmount_remote.pl, a ripoff of loopback.pl meant to be used as a backend
58 I've begun to build a formal testing framework. Currently it can mount
59 and unmount loopback.pl, and all of the base-level functions have test
60 scripts. These need to be fleshed out as problems are noticed.
62 The current test framework seems to work well, but the underlying mount/
63 unmount infrastructure is a crock. I am not pleased with that code.
65 While most things work, I do still have a TODO list:
66 * "du -sb" reports a couple orders of magnitude too large a size.
67 * need to sort out cleaner mount semantics for the test framework
68 * figure out how to un-linuxcentrify the statfs tests
69 * test everything on other architectures and OS's
