2 mszeredi 4 =================

4     This is a test release. It seems to work quite well. In fact, I can't
5     find any problems with it whatsoever. If you do, I want to know.

24     COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE
25    
26     This is contributed to the FUSE project by Mark Glines <mark@glines.org>,
27     and is therefore subject to the same license and copyright as FUSE itself.
28     Please see the AUTHORS and COPYING files from the FUSE distribution for
29     more information.

32     EXAMPLES
33    
34     There are a few example scripts. You can find them in the examples/
35     subdirectory. These are:
36    
37     * example.pl, a simple "Hello world" type of script
38    
39     * loopback.pl, a filesystem loopback-device. like fusexmp from
40     the main FUSE dist, it simply recurses file operations
41     into the real filesystem. Unlike fusexmp, it only
42     re-shares files under the /tmp/test directory.
43    
44     * rmount.pl, an NFS-workalike which tunnels through SSH. It requires
45     an account on some ssh server (obviously), with public-key
46     authentication enabled. (if you have to type in a password,
47     you don't have this. man ssh_keygen.). Copy rmount_remote.pl
48     to your home directory on the remote machine, and create a
49     subdir somewhere, and then run it like:
50     ./rmount.pl host /remote/dir /local/dir
51    
52     * rmount_remote.pl, a ripoff of loopback.pl meant to be used as a backend
53     for rmount.pl.
54    
55    
56     BUGS
57    
58     I've begun to build a formal testing framework. Currently it can mount
59     and unmount loopback.pl, and all of the base-level functions have test
60     scripts. These need to be fleshed out as problems are noticed.
61    
62     The current test framework seems to work well, but the underlying mount/
63     unmount infrastructure is a crock. I am not pleased with that code.
64    
65     While most things work, I do still have a TODO list:
66     * "du -sb" reports a couple orders of magnitude too large a size.
67     * need to sort out cleaner mount semantics for the test framework
68     * figure out how to un-linuxcentrify the statfs tests
69     * test everything on other architectures and OS's
