Fuse on Solaris

FUSE on OpenSolaris

We are working on a port of FUSE to OpenSolaris. The FUSE implementation for FreeBSD is being used as a reference and the implementation for OpenSolaris re-uses much code from fuse4bsd.
Documentation about the FreeBSD version of FUSE can be found at the fuse4bsd website.

FUSE stands for 'File system in User Space'. It provides a simple
interface to allow implementation of a fully functional file system
in user-space.  FUSE originates from the Linux community and is
included in the Linux kernel (2.6.14+).  

Examples of FUSE file systems include:

• sshfs
• ntfs
• ext2fuse
• webdav

Many other examples of FUSE file systems can be found on the Linux FUSE website.

Initially this project will getting basic functionality working on OpenSolaris. The follow on to this basic part will include modifications to address the mmap, persistent inode identification and threading issues noted in the opensolaris-discuss email alias:

The hope is that FUSE on Solaris becomes a popular OpenSolaris community feature.
