Afuse is an automounting file system implemented in user-space
|
|
using FUSE. Afuse currently implements the most basic
|
|
functionality that can be expected by an automounter; that is it
|
|
manages a directory of virtual directories. If one of these virtual
|
|
directories is accessed and is not already automounted, afuse will
|
|
attempt to mount a filesystem onto that directory. If the mount
|
|
succeeds the requested access proceeds as normal, otherwise it will
|
|
fail with an error.
|
|
|
|
The advantage of using afuse over traditional automounters is that
|
|
afuse is designed to run entirely in user-space by individual users.
|
|
This way an automounting action can take advantage of the invoking
|
|
users environment, for example allowing access to an ssh-agent for
|
|
password-less sshfs mounts, or allowing access to a graphical
|
|
environment to get user input to complete a mount (i.e. popping up
|
|
a window asking for a password).
