[fuse-devel] Fuse on Mac OSX aka darwin

[Jon B. <ben...@di...>]

Hi

I read in the archives that there has been a few requests for a OSX  
version.

OSX is based on BSD and the kernel of OSX is called darwin, which is
actually some sort of Open Source, and further more darwin does run on
x86. This means that one should be able to develop fuse for darwin x86
without a mac, and after that it should just be a compile to make it  
for mac.

One could also use the ext2 driver for mac OSX to get an understanding
of  how filesystems work in darwin.
