https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=236236 Bug ID: 236236 Summary: [FUSE] support FUSE_MKNOD Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: asomers@FreeBSD.org Nascent FUSE_MKNOD support was removed in r239925 because of a bug in the fuse fifo code. But FUSE_MKNOD is important for more than just fifos. We should reenable support for the following reasons: * To create chr device nodes, especially for preparing bootable media * To create blk device nodes, especially for preparing bootable Linux media or for copying bootable Linux media. * As a fallback for fuse filesystems that don't support FUSE_CREATE. The FUSE protocol requires the kernel to fall back to FUSE_MKNOD/FUSE_OPEN if a filesystem returns ENOSYS for FUSE_CREATE. * Hey, fifos are useful too, right? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
