Description

FUSE support would be pretty cool. The kernel side of FUSE would need to be reimplemented in iSH. Understandably long term and low priority.

Related request: loop device support.

Contributor guide

Research direction
This issue requests FUSE support, which requires reimplementing the kernel side FUSE module in iSH. Research should start by reviewing existing FUSE implementations (e.g., libfuse) and understanding iSH's current architecture, particularly how it handles system calls and file systems. The comments on this issue may contain additional context or technical discussions. Additionally, the related request for loop device support could provide insights. A concrete next step would be to analyze iSH's kernel emulation code to identify where filesystem operations are dispatched.
