Currently when you mount a filesystem, you face two issues: - you have to be root - if the media is untrusted, it can exploit your kernel
With kvm and fuse, we can have a virtualized kernel mount the filesystem, and re-export to the host, which mounts it using a fuse interface. This solves both problems, at the expense of speed and simplicity. In theory this can be used for mounting untrusted USB sticks (perhaps only for the less well tested filesystems). -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
