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.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-10.1 platform.

User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/fuse
Enable the following options in the kernel configuration and recompile the kernel if necessary:
File systems --->
<*/M> FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) support [CONFIG_FUSE_FS]
Character devices in user space should be enabled too for running the tests:
File systems --->
<*/M> FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) support [CONFIG_FUSE_FS]
<*/M> Character device in Userspace support [CONFIG_CUSE]
Install Fuse by running the following commands:
sed -i '/^udev/,$ s/^/#/' util/meson.build && mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr .. && ninja
The API documentation is included in the package, but if you have Doxygen-1.9.1 installed and wish to rebuild it, issue:
doxygen doc/Doxyfile
To test the results, run (as the root user):
python3 -m pytest test/
The pytest Python module is needed for the tests.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install &&
mv -vf /usr/lib/libfuse3.so.3* /lib &&
ln -sfvn ../../lib/libfuse3.so.3.10.2 /usr/lib/libfuse3.so &&
mv -vf /usr/bin/fusermount3 /bin &&
mv -vf /usr/sbin/mount.fuse3 /sbin &&
chmod u+s /bin/fusermount3 &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/fuse-3.10.2 &&
install -v -m644 ../doc/{README.NFS,kernel.txt} \
/usr/share/doc/fuse-3.10.2 &&
cp -Rv ../doc/html /usr/share/doc/fuse-3.10.2
sed ... util/meson.build: This command disables the installation of a boot script and udev rule that are not needed.
mv ... libfuse3.so.3*; ln ... libfuse3.so: These commands install the libraries in the /lib directory.
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.
