Re: [fuse-devel] how fuse work

[Andrew R. X. <xue...@gm...>]

Hello,

   I got several new questions about FUSE.

1. What's the term 'session' mean in FUSE? Is it the set of all file
operations related to a file?
    If true, how does fuse maintain different sessions?


2. What does  cache image of file system data contain? Both metadata and
file contents? when would
    it be flushed or how can I force it to flush ?
