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 11.3 platform.

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 userspace 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 --buildtype=release .. && ninja
The API documentation is included in the package, but if you have Doxygen-1.9.6 installed and wish to rebuild it, issue:
pushd .. && doxygen doc/Doxyfile && popd
To test the results, run (as the root user):
python3 -m pytest test/
The pytest-7.2.1 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. Two tests,
test_ctests.py and
test_examples.py will produce a warning because a
deprecated Python module is used.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install &&
chmod u+s /usr/bin/fusermount3 &&
cd .. &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/fuse-3.13.1 &&
install -v -m644 doc/{README.NFS,kernel.txt} \
/usr/share/doc/fuse-3.13.1 &&
cp -Rv doc/html /usr/share/doc/fuse-3.13.1sed ... util/meson.build: This command disables the installation of a boot script and udev rule that are not needed.
--buildtype=release: Specify a buildtype
suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may
produce unoptimized binaries.
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
EOFAdditional information about the meaning of the configuration options are found in the man page.
