Re: [ITP] FUSE 2.8


Hi,

Currently, if WinFSP is installed on the system (determined by the

installed (determined by some mechanism TBD) and then attach to Dokan's
DLL.  And so on for other future implementations.

i think so, too. However, in the sense of neutrality and in case there
are both file systems installed, it should not give the one precedence
over the other. That means cygfuse should not just check for available
file systems and load the first found. There should be some user prece-
dence.
Maybe somebody wants to use WinFSP for Windows programs and Dokan for
Cygwin programs. There should be some user setting for the case both
are installed. Maybe some cygfuse-admin command could do the job.

Just a thought, not meant as high priority, because first we must get
more than one file system ready for use.
