FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a simple interface for userspace programs to export a virtual filesystem to the Linux kernel. Fuse also aims to provide a secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own filesystem implementations.

Enable the following options in the kernel configuration and recompile the kernel if necessary:
File systems ---> <*/M> FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) support [FUSE_FS]
Character devices in userspace should be enabled too for running the tests:
File systems ---> <*/M> FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) support [FUSE_FS] <*/M> Character device in Userspace support [CUSE]
The sed ... util/meson.build command removes the installation of an unnecessary boot script and udev rule. After applying this change, prepare Fuse by running the following commands:
sed -i '/^udev/,$ s/^/#/' util/meson.build
meson setup build --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release
Compile Fuse by running the following commands:
ninja -C build
To test the results not recommended in the limited chroot environment as it requires packages not installed yet, issue:
python3 -m venv --system-site-packages testenv source testenv/bin/activate pip3 install looseversion python3 -m pytest deactivate
The "pytest" Python module is required for the tests. One test named
test_cuse will fail if the CONFIG_CUSE
configuration item was not enabled when the kernel was built. One test,
test/util.py, will output a warning due to the usage
of an unknown mark in pytest.
Now, Install Fuse by running the following commands:
ninja -C build install
chmod u+s /usr/bin/fusermount3
cp -Rv doc/html -T /usr/share/doc/fuse-3.17.4
install -v -m644 doc/{README.NFS,kernel.txt} \
/usr/share/doc/fuse-3.17.4
Some options regarding mount policy can be set in the file
/etc/fuse.conf. To install the file run the
following command as the root
user:
cat > /etc/fuse.conf << "EOF"
# Set the maximum number of FUSE mounts allowed to non-root users.
# The default is 1000.
#
#mount_max = 1000
# Allow non-root users to specify the 'allow_other' or 'allow_root'
# mount options.
#
#user_allow_other
EOFAdditional information about the meaning of the configuration options are found in the man page.
