> Hi,

> Ever since I found out that you can mount FUSE filesystems on regular
> files (not just directories), I had the idea of adding FUSE block
> exports to qemu where you can export block nodes as raw images. The
> best thing is that you’d be able to mount an image on itself, so
> whatever format it may be in, qemu lets it appear as a raw image (and
> you can then use regular tools like dd on it).
>
> The performance is quite bad so far, but we can always try to improve it
> if the need arises. For now I consider it mostly a cute feature to get
> easy access to the raw contents of image files in any format (without
> requiring root rights).

> In this version (as opposed to v1 linked above), I integrated the FUSE
> export code into Kevin’s proposed common infrastructure for block
> exports.
