Filesystem in Userspace

Highlighted by ajinkya

Introduction

With FUSE it is possible to implement a fully functional filesystem in a userspace program.  Features include:

  • Simple library API
  • Simple installation (no need to patch or recompile the kernel)
  • Secure implementation
  • Userspace - kernel interface is very efficient
  • Usable by non privileged users
  • Runs on Linux kernels 2.4.X and 2.6.X
  • Has proven very stable over time
