macOS FUSE-T support #273

Open kapitainsky opened 7 months ago

kapitainsky commented 7 months ago

as kext support on macOS is effectively history would you consider supporting alternatives like FUSE-T? On all new macs (ARM based) running kext requires lowering all system security - and soon will be gone for good given Apple dev announcements (no 3rd party kernel extensions).

Good news is that people are already working on alternatives:

https://www.fuse-t.org/

"It implements its own userspace server that converts between FUSE protocol and NFS calls and let macOS mount NFS volume instead of a kernel filesystem"

and is fuse API compatible so usually is very easy replacement (just linking to fuse-t libs instead of macfuse)

Info for developers - https://github.com/macos-fuse-t/fuse-t/wiki

"In general, the code that worked with osxfuse should work as-is without any changes except linking to a new fuse-t library provided in the installation package."

Ya, happy to merge a PR, if it's a simple change

FUSE-T is a C library implementing the same C API as libfuse, right? I don't see how that'd work here.

It seems like there was a PR for this -- https://github.com/cberner/fuser/pull/225 -- but it was rejected. I'm not sure whether it ever worked or whether the reason was the closed nature of FUSE-T or whether it was something else.

Oh, I see that fuser has support for the C libfuse library as an optional feature. I didn't realize that before.

(Maintaining that moral-equivalent of ifdef hell can't be fun.)
