CentOS 5.4 Update to BU Linux Monde
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010
The porting and testing of the CentOS 5.4 software update to BU Linux Monde has been completed. All the software packages have been placed in the updates areas and have been released to the general community.
The update contains both security and bug fixes.
With this new kernel comes a new feature – FUSE :
“Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) is a loadable kernel module for Unix-like computer operating systems, that allows non-privileged users to create their own file systems without editing the kernel code. This is achieved by running the file system code in user space, while the FUSE module only provides a “bridge” to the actual kernel interfaces.”
