fuse's Issues

nonempty option not supported on Darwin

mount_darwin.c doesn't have "nonempty" in it's fuse_mount_opts.

When using the nonempty option I get:
fuse: unknown option nonempty'`

README does not reflect current install procedure

There is no configure script in the distribution. Therefore, the procedure described in the readme is not valid:
$ ./configure
./configure: No such file or directory

The makeconf.sh script also does not seem to work. Under OSX Lion, XCode 4.2, gcc 4.2.1, libtoolize is not present, though there is a glibtoolize, and the process fails again for an ICONV issue.

Make install doesn't complain when files cannot be overwritten

If a previous install of MacFuse or a similar package was made, and not fully uninstalled, the make install action does not detect the leftover files and may not update them when run under normal user permissions.

After installing, when this problem scenario occurs, the following error may be seen:
$ sshfs [email protected]: ~/mnt/mysite.me
/Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/fusefs.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) link error; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).
the MacFUSE file system is not available (71)

Investigating turned up that the fusefs.fs file was left-over from MacFUSE that had been installed in a previously uninstalled tool:
$ ls -ld /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 136 Dec 19 2008 /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs

I found this when attempting to install fuse4x through homebrew, but since homebrew is just invoking make install, I'm logging this here to provide some notice. (A more full explanation is at http://www.unityisplural.com/2011/11/getting-fuse4x-installed-on-osx-lion.html)

It would be helpful and perhaps save someone a bit of grief if the make install directive checked and reported whenever the files it is attempting to install cannot be written.
