Re: fuse_kio!

From what I understand, this is just a KIO slave for the protocols supported by FUSE/AVFS. See http://www.inf.bme.hu/~mszeredi/avfs/ for a complete list of supported protocols.

I see, oh well. It looks like maybe AVFS is what I'm really looking for anyway, since it lets you mount ssh, webdav and other kinds of protocols too. I still think it would be cool to have some sort of userspace program that utilizes kio slaves to "mount" any kio-supported protocol though, since it potentially could take kio usability to a whole new level (read: ANY program would benefit, be it KDE, GTK, console etc, and with no recompile or porting efforts).

I don't know about that, the first mention explicitly says that it will allow you to, "...mount KIO slaves with the fuse_kio module." I don't usually say I'm mounting something unless I'm attaching it to the filesystem.

Also he writes:
----
I have disabled progress dialogs where I found them activated (it
was quite disturbing to have a progress indicator popup on CLI).
----

If we were using FUSE/AVFS --> KIO then would he be worrying about dialogs popping up? To me, this really makes it sound like it's KIO --> FUSE/AVFS.

Which would be excellent IHMO. :-)

Rob Kaper mentions kio_fuse with some links.

Short: Yes, the original poster is right.

Long: From what I understand, FUSE lets you write filesystems that run as normal userland programs, but can still be mounted like real kernel filesystems. It kind of bridges kernel and user space. Now, fuse_kio is a program for use with FUSE which lets you use any KIO slave. It kind of bridges FUSE and the KIO slave system. String all of that together and you can mount KIO slaves like any other kernel filesystem!

KIO slaves of almost all of the AVFS protocols have been around for quite a long time already.

It is a "fuse protocol" with supports kde ioslaves.
I tested it until now only by mounting the fish-ioslave. But it's still very early in development.
Expect more to come.
