Filesystem in Userspace is a simple interface for
userspace programs to export a virtual filesystem
to the Linux kernel. It also aims to provide a secure
method for non privileged users to create and
mount their own filesystem implementations.

Highlights of the 2.8 release are more scalable directory locking, atomic open and truncate support, big write requests, better NFS exporting, new ioctl and poll requests, character devices in userspace, umask processing and cache invalidation notifications. This minor release fixes a race in unmounting a FUSE filesystem.
The kernel module in the fuse package is updated to compile with kernels up to 2.6.26. Note, however, that this kernel module is obsolete and its use is not recommended.
A bug in the FUSE kernel module that could cause a hang under Linux 2.6.24 has been fixed. This bug only affects the FUSE kernel module built from this package; the module in the Linux tree is OK.
This release fixes several problems, including a
deadlock which occurred
when ntfs-3g was terminated with a signal, failure
to umount if
/etc/mtab was a symlink, and linking problems with
uClibc. The included
kernel module has been updated to work with the
2.6.24 kernel.
