Description-en: mirrors or overlays a local directory with altered permissions
bindfs is a FUSE filesystem for mirroring a directory to another
directory, similarly to mount --bind. The permissions of the mirrored
directory can be altered in various ways.
.
Some things bindfs can be used for:
- Making a directory read-only.
- Making all executables non-executable.
- Sharing a directory with a list of users (or groups).
- Modifying permission bits using rules with chmod-like syntax.
- Changing the permissions with which files are created.
.
Non-root users can use almost all features, but most interesting
use-cases need user_allow_other to be defined in /etc/fuse.conf.
