[Wlug] FUSE??

[ken jones]

Would somebody please explain to me what exactly FUSE does?

I succeeded in using fusexmp to mount my root directory into 
/tmp/fuse2.5.3/example.   I also succeeded in unmounting with fusermount 
-u.  I do not understand why I should want to.

This all started when I upgraded the kernel and the type ntfs file 
system on the other half of my dual mounted system refused to "mount".  
I got distracted into FUSE then remembered to install the matching 
kernel-module-ntfs below.

Now I am again successfully using 'smbmount' to mount  ntfs file types.  
I am running Fedora 2.6.17-1.2142_FC4 with  
kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.17-1.2142_FC4-2.1.27-0.rr.10.4.i686.rpm

What good is FUSE to me?  I've Googled till the cows come home, but I do 
not understand the responses.
