FUSE and private namespacesFUSE and private namespacesPosted Apr 30, 2005 21:32 UTC (Sat) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954)Parent article: FUSE and private namespaces By the way, this isn't actually a FUSE problem. It's a user mount problem. FUSE is highly useful, with no fancy namespace work, if you retain the traditional requirement that only a system administrator can mount a filesystem and the system administrator mounts only administrator-controlled FUSE daemons serving up files suitable for the global namespace. The new function is required when you want to go a step further and let an ordinary user create FUSE-based filesystem and mount it himself. And most of the same issue applies without FUSE -- for example, if you want to let a user load a personal CD into a drive and mount that.
