FUSE for macOS 3.5.0

on GitHub

Improve macOS 10.12 support by creating nonexistent mount points

In macOS 10.12 the permissions of the root-owned /Volumes directory have changed from 1777 (rwxrwxrwt) to 1755 (rwxr-xr-t). As a result admin privileges are required to create mount points in /Volumes.

In order to allow non-admin users to mount FUSE volumes in /Volumes FUSE will create non-existent mount points automatically.

Deprecate non-portable libosxfuse functions

File system binaries using these functions, will continue to work with FUSE for macOS 3.x. However, support will be dropped in the next major release. The following functions have been deprecated:

• fuse_os_version_major_np()
• fuse_device_fd_np()
• fuse_mountpoint_for_fs_np()

Revise mount status detection in Objective-C FUSE framework to remove dependency on the deprecated function fuse_device_fd_np()

Pass open flags to Objective-C FUSE framework based file systems

The GMUserFileSystemOperations delegate method createFileAtPath:attributes:userData:error: has been deprecated in favor of the new method createFileAtPath:attributes:flags:userData:error:, that allows passing open flags to the file system delegate. See open(2) for details.

File systems implementing the old delegate method, will continue to work with FUSE for macOS 3.x. However, support will be dropped in the next major release.

Add support for querying file system operation context information for Objective-C FUSE framework based file systems

The context of the current file system operation is only valid during a file system delegate callback. The NSDictionary returned by +[GMUserFileSystem currentContext] contains the following keys:

• kGMUserFileSystemContextUserIDKey
• kGMUserFileSystemContextGroupIDKey
• kGMUserFileSystemContextProcessIDKey

See GMUserFileSystem.h for details.

Update Objective-C FUSE framework availability macros

File system binaries built with version 3.5 of the Objective-C FUSE framework are not compatible with previous framework versions unless the following preprocessor macro is defined before importing the framework header.

#define GM_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED GM_OSXFUSE_2

Minor optimizations and code cleanup
