| Hans-G?nter@24784 | 1 Afuse is an automounting file system implemented in user-space using FUSE. |
| Hans-G?nter@24784 | 2 Afuse currently implements the most basic functionality that can be expected by |
| Hans-G?nter@24784 | 3 an automounter; that is it manages a directory of virtual directories. If one |
| Hans-G?nter@24784 | 4 of these virtual directories is accessed and is not already automounted, afuse |
| Hans-G?nter@24784 | 5 will attempt to mount a filesystem onto that directory. If the mount succeeds |
| Hans-G?nter@24784 | 6 the requested access proceeds as normal, otherwise it will fail with an error. |
| Hans-G?nter@24784 | 7 |
| Hans-G?nter@24784 | 8 The advantage of using afuse over traditional automounters is afuse runs |
| Hans-G?nter@24784 | 9 entirely in user-space by individual users. Thus it can take advantage of the |
| Hans-G?nter@24784 | 10 invoking users environment, for example allowing access to an ssh-agent for |
| Hans-G?nter@24784 | 11 password-less sshfs mounts, or allowing access to a graphical environment to |
| Hans-G?nter@24784 | 12 get user input to complete a mount such as asking for a password. |
