Making a fuse filesystem
Current Scenario: You can do operations like touch and echo in a file easily.
The main idea is to view relationship in a database. I can create Sym links but going back is not the option and multiple Symlinks would be a headache. Hence we are here.
The files also have custom links for you to navigate.
- How to run for now:
# Check if there is some issue or not
cargo check
#Build and run
cargo build
# Sometimes there is an issue with fuse and it would give aborted or FUSE error: Transport endpoint is not connected, for this, run
sudo umount test_mount
cargo run -- -d test_mountRepeat this until it starts working, you can view the issue here
- For compiling the C file and only testing from it
#Fuse version check and if not there install it with your package manager
fuse --version
# Compile the FUSE program
gcc -lfuse -o test test.c
# Run the FUSE program with a mount point
./test -d test_mount- To Run the database for now
cargo run -- test_db- To Check the files are created or not first install sqlitebrowser or any other tool
sqlitebrowser test_db/metadata.db- Things done till now
- Tried the dummy filesystem written in C
- Built our storage in rust
- Hardcoded our files
- Generate bindings and write a fn for running the filesystem just like C would do with rust
- Done writing the getattr and readdir for now
- Impl other remaining write, utimens, truncate, open, create, etc
