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