Someone help me out, whats the difference between this and the way FS are usually mounted?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't FUSE allow this as well?

I think it uses FUSE, which is linux specific.

On Linux, this could be done using an userspace FUSE driver I guess.

Too bad he couldn't use FUSE. Would be nice to do `ls` and other commands with this.

Cool! Does it work in any file system?

strickjb9 Jan 20, 2026 View on HN

Real question - are you not worried about access to /mnt/c ?

darkstalker May 23, 2012 View on HN

A FUSE filesystem interface would be the best, so you can mount it

I thought they had a kernel module or something bypassing the need for fuse.

That's not up to me. It is Linux virtual fs implemented that way
