pass through filesystem

[jessica]

I am trying to find a fuse project that works with fuse4x for passing or pointing to another filesystem.  For example, I set a fuse4x and use bbfs for loopback and point to a CIF volume.  But it's still not working how I want it to work. Because when I use an application to open or create stuff on the fuse filesystem, it still reads it as a CIF file system type.  Any ideas?

btw, this is for a MAC OSX lion.  Thanks.

Bindfs? http://code.google.com/p/bindfs/

Installed fuse4x-0.9.1 then bindfs, but get an error:

configure: error: Package requirements (fuse >= 2.5.3) were not met:

No package 'fuse' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables fuse_CFLAGS

and fuse_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Hi,

Personally I recommend to install this software via one of the macosx package managers - either macports of homebrew.

'sudo port install bindfs' or 'brew install bindfs'

You need to find where did you install fuse.pc file and set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to that directory. And the path to fuse.pc depends how did you install fuse4x. The path either /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ or /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/

I get the same error.  But I don't get it when using sudo.  Trying to build code on fuse4x and binds, so using port or brew would not help in the long run. Also, confuse of how bindfs works.  Thought the mount volume i type in the parameter gets pass to the dir that i choose? Error below when building binds from package:

checking for pkg-config... /opt/local/bin/pkg-config

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes

checking for fuse... no
