The test of fast_ino_check used CentOS Stream 8, which is no longer supported and whose repositories are no longer available. While we can update it to use CentOS Stream 9, use Fedora instead for consistency with the other test cases. Signed-off-by: Akihiko Odaki <odaki@rsg.ci.i.u-tokyo.ac.jp>
fuse-overlayfs
An implementation of overlay+shiftfs in FUSE for rootless containers.
Usage:
$ fuse-overlayfs -o lowerdir=lowerdir/a:lowerdir/b,upperdir=up,workdir=workdir merged
Specify a different UID/GID mapping:
$ fuse-overlayfs -o uidmapping=0:10:100:100:10000:2000,gidmapping=0:10:100:100:10000:2000,lowerdir=lowerdir/a:lowerdir/b,upperdir=up,workdir=workdir merged
Requirements:
If you are not using the static build as explained in the next chapter, your system needs libfuse > v3.2.1.
- On Fedora:
dnf install fuse3-devel - On Ubuntu > v19.04:
apt install libfuse3-dev
Also, please note that, when using fuse-overlayfs from a user namespace
(for example, when using rootless podman) a Linux Kernel > v4.18.0 is required.
Static Build:
This project provides a convenient way to automatically perform a static build using a container. The result is a self-contained binary without dependencies, that can be copied across hosts.
-
Install
buildahas explained here; -
Both the build and deploy host require the special device
/dev/fuse; there are a few ways to obtain it:
- install
fuse2orfuse3using the package manager of your choice (dnf, apt, pacman, etc): the install script will usually create the device automatically; or - manually create the device with the command
mknod /dev/fuse -m 0666 c 10 229(see this code)
-
Clone this repository, and switch to the top-level folder containing the file "
Containerfile.static.ubuntu"; -
Launch the build with the command (note the single dot
.at the end):
buildah bud -v $PWD:/build/fuse-overlayfs -t fuse-overlayfs -f ./Containerfile.static.ubuntu .
- Copy the resulting binary to your host:
sudo cp fuse-overlayfs /usr/bin/
