RPMForge has fuse 2.6.3 and ntfs-3g. Dag has just baked them fresh.
Rah! Thanks (and thanks, Dag, if you're reading).
I wanted to announce it when all the interesting fuse filesystems were uploaded as well, but you beat me to it. Some of the FUSE stuff is being pushed as we speak.
How to use FUSE ?
First of all, add your user to the group 'fuse' and relogin. (or su - user)
Either use the dkms-fuse with the stock CentOS kernel or use the CentOS-plus kernel that contains the fuse kernel module.
yum install dkms-fuse && modprobe fuse
Also install the fuse libraries.
yum install fuse
Then install one of the many fuse filesystems:
yum install fuse-clamfs fuse-cryptofs fuse-davfs2 fuse-encfs \ fuse-ntfs-3g fuse-obexfs fuse-smb fuse-sshfs fuse-svnfs \ fuse-unionfs
Each of these filesystems has its own usage and cli syntax, so look at the documentation in the package. For fuse-sshfs, something like this works:
[user@system ~]# sudo yum install dkms-fuse fuse fuse-sshfs [user@system ~]# sudo modprobe fuse [user@system ~]# mkdir test/ [user@system ~]# sshfs user2@othersys: test/ user2@othersys's password: [user@system ~]# ls -l test/
The sshfs command allows you to mount a remote directory (on a remote sytem) via SSH on your local system. This work transparantly for all applications ! So you could compare a local and remote directory with mc.
Let me know if you find something that can be improved in one of the packages.
