There was a problem hiding this comment.
i can't think of another way to note that if you do -v /etc:/banana, from OSX, then the /etc comes from the inner vm's fs, not from the outer OSX host fs. - suggestions?

LGTM minor comments. |

But FUSE is soooo buggy On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 6:10 PM, Justin Mayer notifications@github.com

@jfrazelle, actually it's programs using the FUSE interface more often than not that are buggy and slow (often due to being written in C with no concurrency story), not the FUSE code in Linux itself. OS X FUSE has a less great track record, but that isn't even relevant here, because this FUSE only runs inside Linux in the Boot2Docker VM. The host machine (Windows, Mac, etc) never runs any FUSE part. |
|
Ah ok cool, my experience with FUSE has been purely OS X based in the past, looking over the branch you linked, seems pretty straight forward, I do agree this shouldn't close the issue |
|
if my marking this pr as closing the other prompts some more work on fuse and remote volumes, then YAY :) |

@fredlf is that better? |
|
Yes, much better. I still think there's part of a thought missing between the first and second sentence, but it's good enough to publish. Thanks @SvenDowideit |
