I'm proud to announce a new version of my pet project 'mountlo', a utility which works similarly to 'mount -o loop', but the filesystem runs entirely in userspace.
While arguably it is quite useless, I like it because it combines some of my favorite technologies (Linux, UML and FUSE) with very little additional glue code. Features: o safe mounting of filesystem images for unprivileged users o all disk-filesystem types supported in a single binary What's new since 0.2: o support for partitioned disk images o support for mount options o error reporting both from mount and the kernel o achieves reasonable performance using SKAS0 mode of UML o verbose and debug modes An i386 binary (2MB) is available at: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fuse/mountlo-i386-0.5.tar.gz Requirements for running the binary are: - FUSE kernel module. Since 2.6.14, this is included in mainline - FUSE utilities (at least version 2.2). Compiling from source needs the following components: - http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fuse/mountlo-0.5.tar.gz - Linux-2.6.15 kernel source - FUSE-2.5 or later devel package (or source installation) Comments and bug reports are welcome.
