FUSE

Filesystem in Userspace is a simple interface for userspace programs to export a virtual filesystem to the Linux kernel. It also aims to provide a secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own filesystem implementations.

NTFS-3G

The NTFS-3G driver is an open source, freely available read/write NTFS driver for Linux, FreeBSD, OS X, and NetBSD. It provides safe and fast handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 and Windows Vista file systems. Most POSIX file system operations are supported, with the ... [More] exception of full file ownership and access right support. [Less]

MacFUSE

MacFUSE implements a mechanism that makes it possible to implement a fully functional file system in a user-space program on Mac OS X (10.4 and above). It aims to be API-compliant with the FUSE (File-system in USErspace) mechanism that originated on Linux. Therefore, many existing FUSE file systems ... [More] become readily usable on Mac OS X. The core of MacFUSE is in a dynamically loadable kernel extension. Although MacFUSE has a completely different kernel-level implementation from Linux FUSE, it supports the FUSE specification well enough that many popular FUSE file systems can be easily compiled and work on Mac OS X--often out of the box.

Macfusion

This is a GUI for arbitrary FUSE filesystems designed to use the MacFuse backend recently ported by Google. It has a plugin architecture so each filesystem can provide its own UI and other methods, while integrating into the overall application. The goal is to make FUSE filesystems like SSH, FTP ... [More] , Subversion, and others easily accessible to mac users. [Less]

encfs

EncFS provides an encrypted filesystem in user-space. It runs without any special permissions and uses the FUSE library and Linux kernel module to provide the filesystem interface. You can find links to source and binary releases below. EncFS is open source software, licensed under the GPL. As ... [More] with most encrypted filesystems, Encfs is meant to provide security against off-line attacks; ie your notebook or backups fall into the wrong hands, etc. The way Encfs works is different from the “loopback” encrypted filesystem support built into the Linux kernel because it works on files at a time, not an entire block device. This is a big advantage in some ways, but does not come without a cost. [Less]

libguestfs

libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying guest disk images. Amongst the things this is good for: making batch configuration changes to guests, getting disk used/free statistics (see also: virt-df), migrating between virtualization systems (see also: virt-p2v), performing partial backups ... [More] , performing partial guest clones, cloning guests and changing registry/UUID/hostname info, and much else besides. libguestfs uses Linux kernel and qemu code, and can access any type of guest filesystem that Linux and qemu can, including but not limited to: ext2/3/4, btrfs, FAT and NTFS, LVM, many different disk partition schemes, qcow, qcow2, vmdk. libguestfs has bindings for C, C++, OCaml, Perl, Python, Ruby or Java.

hfuse

HFuse is a binding for the Linux FUSE library

Peerfuse

Distributed peer to peer file system.

iTunesFS

iTunesFS allows you to mount the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file as a file system, using the excellent MacFUSE (http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/). As of version 1.1, all local iPods will also be mounted in the similar fashion. All playlists of either iTunes or the iPods are exposed as directories, with their respective entries.

cloudfuse

Mosso's Cloud Files is a remote storage system which is similar in principle to Amazon's S3. It provides a simple RESTful interface to storing and retrieving objects. http://www.mosso.com/cloudfiles.jsp cloudfuse is a simple filesystem implemented with FUSE which provides access to ... [More] Cloud Files. It is still quite rough, but should improve with time and use. [Less]
