💅 hey bestie, you found fusefatfs — the manual page for mounting FAT file systems with FUSE and vufuse. sit down, grab a snack 🍓, this one's actually so chill.

🦋 NAME

  • fusefatfs, vufusefatfs — mount FAT file systems using FUSE and vufuse ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS

fusefatfs [-hVdfs] [-o options ] disk_image mountpoint

and, when you're living inside a umvu session:

mount -t vufusefatfs [-o options ] disk_image mountpoint

💖 DESCRIPTION

okay so picture this: fusefatfs takes the whole entire file tree hanging out inside disk_image and mounts it right onto the directory mountpoint. that's it. that's the job. and she's not picky — FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 and exFAT are all supported. versatile icon behavior honestly 👑

vufusefatfs is the VUOS/vufuse submodule of fusefatfs. so basically the same queen, different outfit 🎀

👑 OPTIONS

real talk: fusefatfs is built upon the FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) library, so the complete set of options available to you depends on the specific FUSE you've got installed. no cap. if you want the actual, current, full list, just run fusefatfs -h and let her tell you herself 💅

✨ general options

  • -o opt,[opt...] — FUSE and file specific mount options.
  • -h — display a usage and options summary.
  • -V, --version — display version.

🎀 fusefatfs specific options

  • -o ro — mount the file system in read-only mode. cozy, safe, unbothered 🌸
  • -o rw — mount the file system in read-write mode, but only if -o force is also present. why the extra step? because read-write mounting can potentially manage the file system structure, so an extra option is required to test the awareness of the user. she's just making sure you know what you're doing bestie 😭
  • -o force — confirm the request of read-write access. this is you signing the permission slip ✍️
  • -o rw+ — mount the file system in read-write mode; it's a shortcut of -o rw,force. two steps, one slay ✨

🌈 main FUSE mount options

heads up: these options are not valid in VUOS/vufuse. do not try it. she will not answer the phone 💀
  • -d, -o debug — enable debug output (implies -f).
  • -f — foreground operation.
  • -s — disable multi-threaded operation.
