Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v7 2/6] add fuse support for libvirt lxc
More specifically, this is how the libguestfs API works:
Main thread Other thread
----------------------------- ---------------------
guestfs_mount_local (g, "/mntpoint");
calls: fuse_mount
fuse_chan_fd
fuse_new
fork () or pthread_create () --creates--> Start to access the
/mntpoint; blocks until
main thread calls fuse_loop
guestfs_mount_local_run (g);
calls: fuse_loop
starts to process Unblocks and starts running
requests
Note that there is a problem with SELinux and extended attributes:
