Fuse version 0.01
=================

This is a test release.  It seems to work thus far, but still has a few
iffy areas, as well as a few rough edges.  There will be future
releases.

INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

   perl Makefile.PL
   make
   make test  # currently this just makes sure the lib can link
   make install

DEPENDENCIES

This module requires the FUSE userspace library and the FUSE kernel module.

COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE

more information.

BUGS

Currently theres a huge problem with atomicity - putting an md5sum or something
in a while loop, and cd'ing into the mountpoint from a different directory
causes some interesting failures.  For normal perl, every call should grab a
global lock.  For thread-perl, I'm gonna have to do some research to figure out
the best solution.

Quite a few things aren't tested.

The tested (and seemingly working) stuff includes:
getattr
readlink
getdir
mknod
mkdir
unlink
rmdir
open
read
statfs

which leaves:
symlink
rename
link
chmod
chown
truncate
utime
write
