✨ NAME ✨

fuse2fs — FUSE file system client for ext2/ext3/ext4 file systems 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fuse2fs [ device/image ] [ mountpoint ] [ options ]

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so here's the tea, bestie: fuse2fs is a FUSE file system client that supports reading and writing from devices or image files containing ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems. she reads, she writes, she slays. no cap. 🔥

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

🎀 general options:

• -o opt,[opt...] — mount options. that's it, that's the whole vibe.
• -h, --help — print help. your bestie when you're lost. 🫶
• -V, --version — print version. show her off a lil.

🧚 fuse2fs options:

• -o ro — read-only mount 🔒
• -o rw — read-write mount. this one is the default, so if you don't say anything she's gonna let you write. main character energy.
• -o bsddf — bsd-style df. also the default! ✨
• -o minixdf — minix-style df. the other flavor, if that's your thing.
• -o acl — enable file access control lists 🗂️
• -o cache_size — Set the disk cache size to this quantity. The quantity may contain the suffixes k, m, or g. By default, the size is 32MB. The size may not be larger than 2GB. so like. do not try it. she will not allow it. 💀
• -o direct — Use O_DIRECT to access the block device. straight to the point, no caching middleman.
• -o errors=panic — dump core on error. dramatic? yes. intentional? also yes. 🚨
• -o fakeroot — pretend to be root for permission checks. delulu is the solulu, permission-wise at least 🙈
• -o fuse2fs_debug — enable fuse2fs debugging 🔍
• -o kernel — Behave more like the kernel ext4 driver, in the following ways: Allows processes owned by other users to access the filesystem. Uses the kernel's permissions checking logic instead of fuse2fs's. Enables setuid and device files. Note that these options can still be overridden (e.g. nosuid) later. so it's giving kernel, but you can still take it back later. 🧠
• -o lockfile=path — use this file to control access to the filesystem. one at a time please, she's not sharing. 🔐
• -o no_default_opts — do not include default fuse options. you want the raw unedited version? okay bestie.
• -o norecovery — do not replay the journal and mount the file system read-only. so if you skip the journal replay, you're getting read-only whether you like it or not. no take-backs. ⚠️

🌈 FUSE options:

• -d, -o debug — enable debug output (implies -f) 🐛
• -f — foreground operation. she stays right there in your terminal, watching. 👀
• -s — disable multi-threaded operation. single-threaded, single-minded, iconic.

For other FUSE options please see mount.fuse(8) or see the output of fuse2fs --helpfull. like genuinely go look, there's more where that came from. 💜
