fuse_sqlfs: support giving a password via stdin

This makes it easier to mount encrypted vfs files, rather than editing code
and compiling it ;)

History

#1 Updated by hans over 4 years ago

It is possible, but the UI is pretty limited. You need to build libsqlfs from source (./configure && make). The virtual disk file is hard-coded to /tmp/fsdata in fuse_sqlfs.c. Then to mount it, run sudo ./fuse_sqlfs -o allow_other /path/to/mountpoint.

There is also now the sqlfscat and sqlfsls utilities that can be used to access the files inside a sqlfs container.

Mounting on GNU/Linux is still pretty raw, but I documented the process on the wiki:
