filterfs does not work

[Marduk Bolaños]

filterfs is a FUSE-based filesystem that allows creating a filtered view of a filesystem.

In order to install it I did the following on macOS 10.12:

1. Installed FUSE for macOS version 3.10.2 and restarted

2. git clone https://github.com/eddyp/filterfs.git && cd filterfs

3. brew install automake

4. autoreconf -i

5. ./configure && make && sudo make install

In order to test it:

1. mkdir test

2. filterfs /path/to/somedir /path/to/test --include=*.py -o debug

unique: 2, opcode: INIT (26), nodeid: 0, insize: 56

INIT: 7.19

flags=0xf8000008

max_readahead=0x00100000

   INIT: 7.8

   flags=0x00000000

   max_readahead=0x00100000

   max_write=0x02000000

   unique: 2, error: 0 (Undefined error: 0), outsize: 40

unique: 2, opcode: STATFS (17), nodeid: 1, insize: 40

   unique: 2, error: 0 (Undefined error: 0), outsize: 96

and many more errors. I guess that filterfs needs some modifications in order to be used on macOS. I hope that the experts here can provide some guidance.

Error: automake 1.16.1 is already installed
To upgrade to 1.16.1_1, run `brew upgrade automake`.

???

Strange message. If you can execute autoreconf, build filterfs.
