The permissions of the mirrored -directory can be altered in various ways. - -Some things bindfs can be used for: - - Making a directory read-only. - - Making all executables non-executable. - - Sharing a directory with a list of users (or groups). - - Modifying permission bits using rules with chmod-like syntax. - - Changing the permissions with which files are created. - -Non-root users can use almost all features, but most interesting -use-cases need user_allow_other to be defined in /etc/fuse.conf - - --- Installation -- - -Make sure fuse 2.6.0 or above is installed (http://fuse.sf.net/). -Then compile and install as usual: -./configure -make -make install - -If you want the mounts made by non-root users to be visible to other users, -you may have to add the line user_allow_other to /etc/fuse.conf. - - --- Usage -- - -See the bindfs --help or the man-page for instructions and examples. - - --- OS X note -- - -The following extra options may be useful under osxfuse: --o local,allow_other,extended_security,noappledouble - -See https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/wiki/Mount-options for details. - - --- Test suite -- - -Bindfs comes with a (somewhat brittle and messy) test suite. -The test suite has two kinds of tests: those that have to be run as root and -those that have to be run as non-root. To run all of the tests, do -`make check` both as root and as non-root. - -The test suite requires Ruby 2.0+ (1.9+ might also work). If you're using RVM -then you may need to use `rvmsudo` instead of plain `sudo` to run the root -tests. - - --- License -- - -GNU General Public License version 2 or any later version. -See the file COPYING. |
