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