LKLFUSE(8) System Manager's Manual LKLFUSE(8)

NAME

lklfuse - access LKL mounted block devices via FUSE

SYNOPSIS

lklfuse block-device mountpoint [options]

DESCRIPTION

lklfuse uses the Linux Kernel Library (LKL) to mount a block-device or filesystem image, and provides access to the host system via FUSE. lklfuse can run as an unprivileged user-space process, while reusing entire Linux kernel filesystem driver implementations.

Udev rules and systemd service files are available for automatically mounting USB storage devices via an unprivileged lklfuse sandbox; see 61-lklfuse.rules and lklfuse-mount@.service.

OPTIONS

-o log=<file> log to <file>.

-o type=fstype mount with filesystem type <fstype>.

-o mb=memory allocate <memory> in MB for LKL (default: 64).

-o part=parition mount <partition>.

open block-device read-only.

-o lock=<file> only mount after taking an exclusive lock on <file>.

-o opts=options Linux kernel mount <options> (use \ to escape , and =).

See lklfuse --help for additional FUSE specific options.
