Ruby FUSE binding

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

This library provides the low-level fuse operations as callbacks into a ruby object.

For a more ruby-ish API for creating filesystems see {http://rubygems.org/gems/rfusefs RFuseFS} which is built on RFuse and takes care of some of the heavy lifting.

Dependencies

• Ruby 1.9+
• Fuse 2.8

Installation

gem install rfuse

Creating a filesystem

Create your filesystem as a class implementing the abstract FUSE methods from {RFuse::Fuse} as necessary.

Run it with {RFuse.main}

For a sample filesystem see sample/test-ruby.rb

To run the example:

 mkdir /tmp/fuse
 ruby sample/test-ruby.rb /tmp/fuse

there should be an empty in-memory filesystem mounted at /tmp/fuse
