  • problem is in attempting to drag-n-

    drop (or copy-n-paste) files from the HFS+
  • haven't found a combination of

    default_permissions, defer_permissions, noappledouble and noapplexattr

    options (or absence of all of them) that works
  • problems that you are experiencing are almost certainly down to something else
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • if you don't implement xattrs MacFuse will work
  • If you can repeat a problem with the loopback then it may be a problem with MacFUSE - if not the problem is yours

  • Windows, Linux, Solaris, MacOSX
  • with variations
  • On Linux, specifically, four categories of extended attributes have
    been defined
  • user : to record properties defined by applications
  • names of the extended attributes must be prefixed
  • Examples of extended attribute names
  • stable ntfs-3g supports the user name space
  • some Linux distributions do not support the extended attribute
    interface
  • commands
    for getting or setting the extended attributes are system

    dependent
  • extended attributes in user name space are stored on NTFS as
    alternative data streams
  • The following sections describe how to access a few NTFS internal data
    as extended attributes
  • NTFS Attributes
  • miscellaneous flags associated with
    a file or directory
  • Only eight flags can be changed
  • NTFS use reparse data to define special actions before opening
  • reparse data of a file or directory is mapped to an
    extended attribute
  • translated into ownership,
    permissions and Posix ACLs     parameters
  • NTFS ACLs are used to control access
  • NTFS ACL of a file or directory is mapped to an extended
    attribute
  • EFS is the methodology used in NTFS to deal with encrypted files
  • decryption
    information,
    the EFS Info, which contains the key, encrypted
  • decryption information is mapped to an extended attribute
  • encryption and compression are not compatible

  • sshfs isn't meant to replace things such as NFS, AFP, and SMB

      A rich experience, with which users of Apple Finder and Mac OS X are accustomed, can not be guaranteed within the limitations of a protocol such as FTP.
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 26 May 09
       
      Hint: Finder does very much more than simply transfer files. Much of the Finder experience, which users (naturally) take for granted, is thanks to extensive use of extended attributes and metadata.
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 26 May 09
       
      Users of FTP, SFTP and SHH services: please, pay attention! The best marriage of Apple Finder and Mac OS X to a remote file system is: Apple Filing Protocol (AFP).
  • I mounted a MacFUSE volume but I don't see a volume icon on the Desktop

  • I mounted a MacFUSE volume but I don't see a volume icon in the Finder's sidebar
  • nontrivial user-space file systems can still be complex, and their performance/behavior can depend upon numerous factors besides MacFUSE itself
  • When in doubt, feel free to post your questions on the macfuse group
  • MacFUSE allows access to a volume only to the user who mounted the volume. All other users, including the superuser is denied access

    Exemplary of a factor (in this case, NCP - Novell Core Protocol) that could not be guessed from the client perspective, and that may lead to puzzling behaviour when MacFUSE and applications such as Apple Finder are added to the equation.

  • extended attributes as Apple Double (._) files
  • all or only some extended attributes

  • With auto_xattr, the kernel will /always/ use ._ files
  • MacFUSE supports Mac OS X access control lists (ACLs)
  • To properly support ACLs, a user-space file system must correctly handle the com.apple.system.Security extended attribute

stack MacFUSE

shared by Graham Perrin on 14 Nov 08 - Snapshot
  • I think it _can_ be solved  
    at the MacFUSE level using a transparent "stacking" FUSE filesystem  
    that will cache appledobule files _locally_
  • It would be a very significant contribution to the Mac and FUSE  
    communities if such a thing were built, as then all network FUSE  
    filesystems like S3, FTP and SSH would see functionality and  
    performance gains

  • Would it be possible

    to implement a "stacking" filesystem using MacFuse.framework or the

    FUSE python bindings?
  • you'll have to do the work of talking to the low-level C interface in

    libfuse
  • MacFUSE.framework is a shim atop the high-level FUSE API
