Afuse is an automounting file system implemented in user-space using
|
|
|
|
|
FUSE. Afuse currently implements the most basic functionality that can
|
|
|
|
|
be expected by an automounter; that is it manages a directory of virtual
|
|
|
|
|
directories. If one of these virtual directories is accessed and is not
|
|
|
|
|
already automounted, afuse will attempt to mount a filesystem onto that
|
|
|
|
|
directory. If the mount succeeds the requested access proceeds as normal,
|
|
|
|
|
otherwise it will fail with an error.

The generated package includes the script afuse-avahissh: this will use
|
|
|
|
|
avahi to automatically populate the root directory with hosts advertising
|
|
|
|
|
their sftp service via Avahi.
|
|
|
|
|
As it's not essential for general usage, avahi is considered an optional
|
|
|
|
|
dependency (install it if you want to use that script).
