- Building module for Linux kernels earlier than 2.6.9 not supported
- Allow block device based filesystems to support swap files
- Several bugs fixed, including a rare system hang on SMP
- a daemon that creates a /dev/fuse socket and that performs PUFFS
relay to FUSE.
- a library and a header file to use in filesystems and libraries that
open /dev/fuse, so that they are directed to the socket.
Tahoe-LAFS is a Free Software/Open Source decentralized data store.
It distributes your filesystem across multiple servers, and even if
some of the servers fail or are taken over by an attacker, the entire
filesystem continues to work correctly and to preserve your privacy
and security.
bindfs is a FUSE filesystem for mounting a directory to another location,
similar to 'mount --bind' in Linux or unionfs in BSD. The permissions in
the mountpoint can be altered through various rules.
MP3FS is a read-only FUSE filesystem which transcodes audio formats
(currently FLAC) to MP3 on the fly when opened and read. This was
written to enable using a FLAC collection with software and/or
hardware which only understands MP3.
It is also a novel alternative to traditional MP3 encoder applications.
Just use your favorite file browser to select the files you want
encoded and copy them somewhere!
From changelog:
Bugs fixed since ChironFS 1.1.0:
o ChironFS could not locate the correct place where chirctl was
when called using the environment variable $PATH to find it.
Now chirctl is called in the same way as ChironFS, leaving
this work to $PATH searches.

Changes since ChironFS 1.0.0
---------------------
o Added the --ctl (or -c) option which allows to mount a pseudo-filesystem
(like /proc) to control the behavior of the Chiron filesystem being mounted.
Currently, it's only possible to show the status of the replicas and change
their status. Dynamically generated nagios plugin scripts are provided too.
o Updated the howto in the chapter 5, explaining the use of the --ctl option.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
