Fuse permissions
The FUSE system has restrictions to prevent security problems.
- There are warnings if the directory is mounted at a non-empty directory entry
- module fuse must be loaded by root
modeprobe fuse - By default, only the user creating the directory (running owfs) can access the mounted filesystem
To allow others to see the owfs filesystem, do BOTH:
- Add a line to /etc/fuse.conf
user_allow_other - Add the command line parameter --allow_other to owfs.
Choose any of: - owfs --allow_other
- owfs --fuse_opt="\"-o allow_other\""
- owfs -c /etc/owfs.conf
and add the line
"allow_other" to the configuration file
