PERFUSED(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PERFUSED(8) NAME
perfused -- PUFFS Enabled Relay to FUSE Daemon SYNOPSIS
perfused [-fs] [-d types] [-i -fd] DESCRIPTION
perfused is a userland daemon implementing the FUSE kernel level API. It creates a /dev/fuse socket for FUSE file system daemons to connect to. perfused takes care of mounting the file system using puffs(3). When the kernel sends a puffs(3) operation for the mounted file system, perfused will translate it into a FUSE request, and will send it to the file system daemon through /dev/fuse. The FUSE reply will be converted back into a puffs(3) reply and will be relayed to the kernel. FUSE file system daemons must be modified so that they request perfused to perform the mount(2) system call instead of doing it on their own. This is done by replacing mount(2) and the open(2) calls for /dev/fuse with perfuse_mount() and perfuse_open(), respectively, in their sources. libperfuse(3) must be used at link time. Most FUSE file system daemons use libfuse and will work unmodified, provided the modifi- cation is done in libfuse itself . The following options are available: -d types Print additional debug information. types is a comma-separated list of information types to print: puffs Display PUFFS requests and replies. fuse Display FUSE requests and replies. dump Dump content of FUSE frames. fh Display file handle activity. reclaim Display reclaim activity. readdir Display readdir activity. requeue Display requeue activity. sync Display dirty flags and sync operations. -f Do not fork, but stay in the foreground. -i fd Do not open /dev/fuse but use the socket available from the file descriptor fd. This is used when perfused is started from libperfuse(3). -s Enable debug output only when receiving SIGINFO. SIGNALS
SIGINFO If the -s flag was used, toggle debug output. Do nothing otherwise. SIGUSR1 Toggle FUSE operation dump on and off. When toggling off, the trace is is stored in /var/run/perfuse-xxx.trace (xxx is the filesys- tem mount point). ERRORS
The program logs to the syslog daemon as facility ``daemon''. For detailed debugging use the -d (debug) option. SEE ALSO
mount(2), perfuse_mount(3), puffs(4) AUTHORS
The program was written by Emmanuel Dreyfus <manu@NetBSD.org>. BUGS
When perfused runs in the foreground (using the -f flag), some processes using the FUSE file system will sometime hang on 'uvn_fp2'. BSD

ZFS-FUSE(8) [FIXME: manual] ZFS-FUSE(8) NAME
zfs-fuse - ZFS filesystem daemon SYNOPSIS
zfs-fuse [--pidfile filename] [--no-daemon] [--no-kstat-mount] [--disable-block-cache] [--disable-page-cache] [--fuse-attr-timeout SECONDS] [--fuse-entry-timeout SECONDS] [--log-uberblocks] [--max-arc-size MB] [--fuse-mount-options OPT,OPT,OPT...] [--min-uberblock-txg MIN] [--stack-size=size] [--enable-xattr] [--help] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the zfs-fuse command. zfs-fuse is a daemon which provides support for the ZFS filesystem, via fuse. Ordinarily this daemon will be invoked from system boot scripts. OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the Info files. -h --help Show summary of options. -p filename --pidfile filename Write the daemon's PID to filename after daemonizing. Ignored if --no-daemon is passed. filename should be a fully-qualified path. -n --no-daemon Stay in foreground, don't daemonize. --no-kstat-mount Do not mount kstats in /zfs-kstat --disable-block-cache Enable direct I/O for disk operations. Completely disables caching reads and writes in the kernel block cache. Breaks mmap() in ZFS datasets too. --disable-page-cache Disable the page cache for files residing within ZFS filesystems. Not recommended as it slows down I/O operations considerably. -a SECONDS --fuse-attr-timeout SECONDS Sets timeout for caching FUSE attributes in kernel. Defaults to 0.0. Higher values give a 40% performance boost. -e SECONDS --fuse-entry-timeout SECONDS Sets timeout for caching FUSE entries in kernel. Defaults to 0.0. Higher values give a 10000% performance boost but cause file permission checking security issues. --log-uberblocks Logs uberblocks of any mounted filesystem to syslog -m MB --max-arc-size MB Forces the maximum ARC size (in megabytes). Range: 16 to 16384. -o OPT... --fuse-mount-options OPT,OPT,OPT... Sets FUSE mount options for all filesystems. Format: comma-separated string of characters. -u MIN --min-uberblock-txg MIN Skips uberblocks with a TXG < MIN when mounting any fs -v MB --vdev-cache-size MB adjust the size of the vdev cache. Default : 10 --zfs-prefetch-disable Disable the high level prefetch cache in zfs. This thing can eat up to 150 Mb of ram, maybe more --stack-size=size Limit the stack size of threads (in kb). default : no limit (8 Mb for linux) -x --enable-xattr Enable support for extended attributes. Not generally recommended because it currently has a significant performance penalty for many small IOPS -h --help Show this usage summary. REMARKS ON PRECEDENCE
Note that the parameters passed on the command line take precedence over those supplied through /etc/zfs/zfsrc. BUGS
/CAVEATS The path to the configuration file (/etc/zfs/zfsrc) cannot at this time be configured. Most existing packages suggest settings can be set at the top of their init script. These get frequently overridden by a (distribution specific) /etc/default/zfs-fuse file, if it exists. Be sure to look at these places if you want your changes to options to take effect. The /etc/zfs/zfsrc is going to be the recommended approach in the future. So, packagers, please refrain from passing commandline parameters within the initscript (except for --pid-file). SEE ALSO
