From d6392f873f1d09974d5c92c52715fa422ad7c625 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2006 20:35:44 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] fuse: add support for block device based filesystems I never intended this, but people started using fuse to implement block device based "real" filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs). The following four patches add better support for these kinds of filesystems. Unlike "normal" fuse filesystems, using this feature should require superuser privileges (enforced by the fusermount utility). Thanks to Szabolcs Szakacsits for the input and testing. This patch adds a 'fuseblk' filesystem type, which is only different from the 'fuse' filesystem type in how the 'dev_name' mount argument is interpreted.
