POSIX Overlay Filesystem (posixovl)
|
|
|
|
A FUSE (filesystem in userspace) filesystem that provides POSIX
|
|
functionality - UNIX-style permissions, ownership, special files -
|
|
for filesystems that do not have such, e.g. vfat. It is a modern
|
|
equivalent of the UMSDOS fs.
|
|
|
|
It provides a filesystem view that supports various POSIX operations
|
|
while using an otherwise incapable lower filesystem. Filesystems
|
|
of various degrees of POSIXness can be utilitzed. VFAT is a
|
|
common denominator when it comes to cross-compatibility, though
|
|
NTFS -- its features are unused in Linux -- would be another
|
|
possibility. Secondly, potent native POSIX-style filesystems can also
|
|
be used, though the actual use of doing that remains to be discovered.
