It was a little over two years ago that I gave serious thought to making user-space file systems a reality on Mac OS X. The result of that work, MacFUSE, was introduced at the Macworld conference in January 2007. Since then, MacFUSE has come a long way. It’s been used in projects big and small [...]

Next Monday (December 8, 2008), there will be an open-to-all talk on MacFUSE at Google’s Mountain View headquarters. Here is a more detailed announcement.

MacFUSE has a new install/update mechanism that greatly simplifies and improves things both for end users and developers who use MacFUSE in their software.
The relevant wiki page has all the details.
Note that instead of Tiger- and Leopard-specific downloads, now there’s a single downloadable disk image containing a single installable package. The package, which third parties [...]

Version 1.5 of MacFUSE is out.
The CHANGELOG has details of what’s new.

Quoting my Google Mac Blog post in its entirety:

A new version of MacFUSE is now available. As always, you can download a ready-to-install prebuilt package, or browse the ready-to-build source. Besides bug fixes and other minor improvements, there is a major new developer feature in this release: an Objective-C framework is now part of the [...]

A new release of MacFUSE is here. There is a new version for Leopard, a new version for Tiger, and a new version of sshfs.app that runs on both Tiger and Leopard.

People are welcome to join us at Google on Thursday, May 24, for an open-to-public talk on all things MacFUSE. I’m told that “Doors open at 6:30PM at Google’s Mountain View campus. Guests should plan to sign in at Building 41 reception upon arrival. Refreshments will be served…”
Here’s an abstract:

File systems provide one of the [...]

I just realized that my “posting” of the link to this nice tech video never got posted (network glitches are common in my current location).
The prolific Mike Pinkerton, who is the tech lead of the Google Desktop for the Mac project, made this video demonstrating some neat features of the product.

MacFUSE 0.2.5 and SSHFS for MacFUSE 0.2.0 bring several important and useful updates to the user.
Changelog for MacFUSE
Changelog for SSHFS

On the MacFUSE Project Page, you now have a new release of MacFUSE Core. Please be sure to upgrade as this fixes a nasty bug.
Besides, in the filesystems-objc subdirectory, you’ll find source for the Objective-C library that we used to create the file systems shown in the MacFUSE Tech Demos video.
You will also find the [...]

A new release is up at the MacFUSE project page.
0.2.0 adds several new features and fixes several bugs. New features include support for kqueue/kevent, advisory locking, full extended attributes support, support for extended security (ACLs), support for “direct I/O” (this allows the user-space file system to return less data than the file’s size, and MacFUSE [...]

There’s a new, much improved release of MacFUSE.

There’s an exciting new release of MacFUSE up on the project’s web site.
Even better, you can now also download SpotlightFS (you’ll have to try it out to see how cool it is) and a graphical interface for sshfs.
Enjoy!
