archivemount is a FUSE-based file system for Unix variants, including Linux. Its purpose is to mount archives (e.g. tar, tar.gz, etc.) to a mount point where it can be read from or written to as with any other file system. This makes accessing the contents of the archive, which may be compressed, transparent to other programs, without ...
[6] [5] An attempt to replace UnionFS, aufs, was released in 2006, followed in 2009 by OverlayFS. [2] In 2014 OverlayFS union mount implementation was added to the standard Linux kernel source code. [7] Similarly, GlusterFS offers the ability to mount different filesystems distributed across a network, rather than being located on the same ...
All the gnome-mount programs utilize HAL methods and as such run unprivileged. The rationale for gnome-mount is to have a centralized place (in GConf) where settings such as mount options and mount locations are maintained. [4] As with all unix-like commands, the options are specific to the version of mount and are precisely detailed in its man ...
Version 2.x is a newer, redesigned, and reimplemented one. aufs is an alternative version of unionfs. [7] overlayfs written by Miklos Szeredi has been used in OpenWRT and considered by Ubuntu and has been merged into the mainline Linux kernel on 26 October 2014 [8] after many years of development and discussion [9] for version 3.18 of the kernel.
This article documents the version history of the Linux kernel. Each major version – identified by the first two numbers of a release version – is designated one of the following levels of support: Supported until next stable version; Long-term support (LTS); maintained for a few years [1]
The need and specification of a kernel mode Linux union mount filesystem was identified in late 2009. [1] The initial RFC patchset of OverlayFS was submitted by Miklos Szeredi in 2010. [2] By 2011, OpenWrt had already adopted it for their use. [3] It was merged into the Linux kernel mainline in 2014, in kernel version 3.18.
Mounting a file containing a file system via such a loop mount makes the files within that file system accessible. They appear in the mount point directory. A loop device may allow some kind of data elaboration during this redirection. For example, the device may be the unencrypted version of an encrypted file.
An automounter is any program or software facility which automatically mounts filesystems in response to access operations by user programs. An automounter system utility (daemon under Unix), when notified of file and directory access attempts under selectively monitored subdirectory trees, dynamically and transparently makes local or remote devices accessible.
