fusermount:tldr:0a9da
The command "fusermount -z ${path-to-mount_point}" is used to mount a file system on a specific directory using FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) and enable compression for the mounted file system. Here's an explanation of the components:
-
"fusermount": This is the command used to mount FUSE-based file systems. It allows non-root users to mount and unmount file systems without requiring administrative privileges.
-
"-z": This flag enables compression for the mounted file system. Compression reduces the storage space used by files and can be beneficial for large files or directories with many files.
-
"${path-to-mount_point}": This is the placeholder for the actual path where you want to mount the file system. You need to replace "${path-to-mount_point}" with the desired directory location on your system.
By running the "fusermount -z ${path-to-mount_point}" command, you can mount a file system using FUSE and enable compression for the mounted files.
