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.
