Filesystem in Userspace
(FUSE) is a mechanism for Unix-like operating systems that lets non-privileged users create their own file systems without editing kernel code. This is achieved by running file system code in
user space
, while the FUSE kernel module provides only a "bridge" to the actual kernel interfaces.
Unmounting
FUSE filesystems can be unmounted using
fusermount3(1)
provided by
fuse3
or using
fusermount(1)
provided by
fuse2
. E.g.:
$ fusermount3 -u
mountpoint
