Description-en: FUSE file system that provides POSIX functionality
With posixovl it is possible to mount FAT, VFAT, NTFS
file system so that it behaves like POSIX. File permissions,
symbolic links etc. are supported transparently. An extra file
stores the information and the file system itself stays unmodified.
It is a modern equivalent of the UMSDOS file system.
.
Typical use: Mount an USB FAT32 drive with posixovl and your
files retain their permission settings.
.
This package extends mount and provides option '-t posixovl'.
