FUSE

FUSE connects a kernel filesystem interface to a userspace daemon that implements filesystem operations.

Scope: request caching and the daemon's backend determine the effective behavior; the framework name alone does not specify persistence. [1]

Disambiguation: this filesystem interface is unrelated to binary fuse filters. The accompanying review traces cache modes and synchronization callbacks. [2]
