Is there any magic number for plfs?

Yes.

Then, the answer is no. PLFS does not have a magic number. FUSE doesn’t allow a FUSE filesystem to set that value. When you query it, you’ll see the FUSE magic number.

I tried to get the magic number for a file under plfs, with the hope to figure out the magic number of fuse. Apparently, there is no magic number for fuse either. It just returns the magic number of underlying filesystem. Does that sound right or I am missing something?

Do you have PLFS mounted?

I do, and I create the file using plfs. Then, I query the same file and get the magic number for it.
