Hi, I am trying to use the Bindfs package for Centos disto, It seems that it cannot find it. Is this package support only Ubuntu distribution or other ones too? I appreciate any help with this.

Which version of CentOS? What have you tried?

Bindfs is packaged for at least some versions of CentOS. If it's not available, you can install FUSE (package fuse3-devel or fuse-devel I believel) and build from source as shown in the readme.

I am running CentOS 7, I will give fuse3 a try too. Is BindFS only working for local storage on the system? or it is also supporting NFS-mounted storage to the system?

Looks like CentOS 7 is so old that it doesn't have bindfs, but you can install fuse-devel and compile bindfs yourself.

I've never tried bindfs with NFS (either mouting on top of an NFS mount or exporting a bindfs over NFS). In #78 someone tried exporting a directory with a bindfs mount as a subdirectory, and that required a workaround.
