Pass own options to libfuse

[ritiek]

Hi, I'd like to pass my own options to libfuse. For example, this FUSE over Google Drive https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse allows one to pass any options directly to libfuse with the -o option, such as:

$ google-drive-ocamlfuse -o allow_other

It states in the help as:

  -o          specify FUSE mount options.

However, I don't see anything similar in boxfs2. It would be nice to have something like that as well.

I wanted to pass my -o allow_other to libfuse with boxfs2 so that I can see the mounted directory through SMB. For now, I've modified the source on my fork in 79457da and it seems to be working well so far.

Hi, can't you achieve the same result using the permission options (-U, -G, -F and -D)?
Anyway, it seems a good idea to allow passing options to FUSE, I would like to implement it, sooner or later.
If you extend your code to implement something like "-o", feel free to send me a pull request! ;)

Doesn't seem so or maybe I'm not doing this right. I tried with:

$ boxfs -F 0777 -D 0777 -G 123 ~/box

where -G 123 is my sambashare group and a few other combinations but it wouldn't show up via SMB from my other machine.

Okay! I'm no good with C but I'll make a PR if I can get this to work.

Is it still working?
