💖 FUSESMB(1) — the girlies' guide to mounting the whole network neighbourhood 💖

okay so bestie, this is fusesmb, from the General Commands Manual section of your friendly neighbourhood man pages. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's talk about mounting literally every computer on your network at once. it's giving main character energy and honestly? it ate. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

fusesmb — mount the network neighbourhood 🌈

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

fusesmb mountpoint [options]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so fusesmb is a Network Neighborhood (Samba shares) filesystem, periodt. it does the whole smbfs thing, but here's the twist that makes it iconic: instead of you having to reach for one single share at a time like some kind of peasant 😭, all computers and workgroups are accessible at once from a single filesystem mount. one mount. everything. no cap. ✨

it's basically the group chat of filesystems — everyone's in there, you just have to show up. 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

fusesmb accepts the following options:

  • -h — shows you a summary of the options. the little "hey bestie here's what I can do" moment. 🙈

🌸 FILES 🌸

  • ~/.smb/fusesmb.conf — the config file for fusesmb. ⚠️ and listen, this part matters: make sure this file is only readable by the owner, or else fusesmb will straight up not start. no notes, it's just strict like that. 💀
  • ~/.smb/fusesmb.cache — a sorted list of all the workgroups, servers and shares it found chillin' on your network. the receipts, basically. 📋
lowkey important: that permissions thing on fusesmb.conf is not a suggestion. owner-readable only, or she refuses to boot. it's giving ✨boundaries✨.
