Actually I figured it out … i think I had some permissions set wrong on the fuse folder.

I upgraded to 1.1.6 and I’m having trouble getting into the /fuse directory as non-root user. Root works fine for me. Here are my mount options:

lessfs on /fuse type fuse.lessfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,default_permissions,allow_other,max_read=131072,max_read=131072,default_permissions,allow_other)

Any ideas why this is happening? I thought allow_other would let non-root users get in.

With background deletes, it seems that the best solution for the unmount problem is to not consider the unmount finished until all background deletes have completed. So when a background delete is in process and you type the unmount command, it will block until the delete finishes, and then the unmount command will finish.

Just discovered a bug:

‘tail -f .lessfs/lessfs_stats’ is causing a cpuload around 50%, while there are no read/write operations. Killing tail and lessfs consumes 0% while being idle.

Would someone be able to help me getting lessfs setup? I think I am pretty close to getting it set up, but I can’t quite get it to work.

Regards,

Brad

The linux Kernel Shared Memory, dedup for memory, has a list of pages that are to volatile to dedup. could lessfs benefit from such a feature too? It wil not help for backup, but it might for vm’s.
