MacFUSE is the Mac equivalent of FUSE (and a bit more).
Both FUSE and MacFUSE consists of a kernel component and a user space
library. File systems run in user space.
There is no fundamental architectural difference between FUSE (Linux)
and MacFUSE (Mac OS X).

... a little integration just to be sure you understand.
I wrote there because of my failure compiling fuse-2.8.4 and believing
in the possibility to use MacFUSE in user space.
Reading your comment I see MacFUSE runs only in kernel space, so I
have subscribed fuse-devel and switched back to fuse.
Thanks again for your comment,

Hello,
thanks for your response and I agree with you.
I begun to think at macfuse because obviously it runs on mac os x and
my first (and too short) experience in recompiling fuse-2.8.4 on mac
os x (show) disappointed me, I was blocked immediately by a "stupid"
compile error (you can see it few lines after).
So I suppose to use MacFUSE only in user space without those annoying
compile errors.

FUSE is designed to provide user space support for what is usually put
into the kernel space. I'd suggest that if you are going to write an
application on an iPhone that this isn't going to make sense as apple
don't let you have access to a kernel on a normal iPhone (not sure
about the jail broken ones but I wouldn't be worried about targeting
such a small target audience). Android I think is also going to be
tricky but you can hack it apart but again the target audience could
be limited here.
So I personally don't see the point of porting macfuse to a mobile
platform, just write an equivalent library that you can use in your
applications. If you think about it you should be able to write a
library in such a way that you can share code between platforms
(iPhone and mac at least so a c/c++/obj-c library, android is java)
Cheers,
Sam

Hello,
I'm and independent developer and I was trying to create an
application to share documents with computers or mobile devices.
For example, you put some document inside a folder on your computer
and magically these documents appear and are available into another
computer or mobile device.
I know, it isn't a new idea and there are a couple of applications
that already do this.
But I would like to use FUSE and understand if it could be good enough
to port on mobile phones.
For example on Iphone (may be Android in future).
So the question is:
do you know if there is anybody that have tried to port MacFUSE on
iPhone?
If I would like to start writing an iPhone application with MacFUSE
support can you give me some tip to start?
Thanks in advance for time spent reading my email,
freedev
