Filesystem in Userspace ("FUSE") is a linux extension that allows unprivileged users to access various types of storage services without superuser access to mount them. Examples include "sshfs" for file access via SSH or "encfs" for an encrypted filesystem. FUSE gives linux users this added flexibility without the overhead or security risks of granting superuser to acces them.
This talk looks at the baisc mechanism for FUSE and examines some of the tradeoffs using them and how to use a few of the common ones.
The Saint Louis MO, STL Linux Users Group (STLLUG) meets monthly to learn and talk about Linux. This GNU/Linux Users Group usually holds its meetings on the third Thursday of every month. Some months on fourth Thursday. Meetings are free, public and open to all.
We start gathering by 6:00PM and at 6:30PM we start with introductions, announcements, current events of interest, and a general CALL FOR HELP segment. Then we will go into the presentation of our main topic, sometime around or after 6:45PM.
STLLUG is loosely affiliated with the St. Louis Unix Users Group (SLUUG), as one of its Special Interest Groups (SIG). Under SLUUG care web page support is provided. Individual membership dues, fees or other charges are NOT required. These meetings are free, public and open to all.
Contact us if you have a presentation you would like to have considered for selection.
