pancake. With FUSE it is possible to implement a fully functional filesystem in a userspace program. Features include: * Simple library API * Simple installation (no need to patch or recompile the kernel) * Secure implementation * Userspace - kernel interface is very efficient * Usable by non privileged users * Runs on Linux kernels 2.4.X and 2.6.X * Has proven very stable over time This package is enabled only for linux and FreeBSD, NetBSD uses its own compatible library.
