FUSE: Filesystem in Userspace
By admin on Jul 20, 2008 in Java, open source
With FUSE it is possible to implement a fully functional filesystem in a userspace program.
If features:
- Simple library API
- Simple installation (no need to patch or recompile the kernel)
- Secure implementation
- Userspace – kernel interface is very efficient
- Usable by non privileged users
- Runs on Linux kernels 2.4.X and 2.6.X
- Has proven very stable over time
There is also FUSE-J (Java bindings for FUSE), which is a Java API that uses JNI bindings to FUSE library and enables writing Linux filesystems in Java language
