This is an improved version with various bugfixes (including a crash/corruption bug due to misaligned blocks). It also works on FreeBSD and NetBSD (if it does not work on NetBSD, please patch the fuse-rs crate with the files from fuse/). This work builds up on the amazing work by Naruaki Matsumura (who I know as @narumatt).

Code and fixes here (sqlitefs repo) are dual licensed under MIT/Apache-2.0

Please star the repository if you find it interesting or useful. For a monotemporal filesystem built on the same (which records everything so you can do point-in-time inspections), please see temporal_sqlitefs. It is available under OSLv3, which is approved by both the OSI and the FSF, but is more restrictive than dual-licensing under Apache-2.0 and MIT.

sqlite-fs

About

sqlite-fs allows Linux and MacOS to mount a sqlite database file as a normal filesystem.

Requirements

• Latest Rust Programming Language (≥ 1.38)
• libfuse(Linux) or osxfuse(MacOS) is requied by fuse-rs

Usage

Mount a filesystem

$ sqlite-fs <mount_point> [<db_path>]

If a database file doesn't exist, sqlite-fs create db file and tables.

If a database file name isn't specified, sqlite-fs use in-memory-db instead of a file. All data will be deleted when the filesystem is closed.

Unmount a filesystem

• Linux

$ fusermount -u <mount_point>

• Mac

$ umount <mount_point>

example

$ sqlite-fs ~/mount ~/filesystem.sqlite &
$ echo "Hello world\!" > ~/mount/hello.txt
$ cat ~/mount/hello.txt
Hello world!
