Description
rbd-fuse is a FUSE ("Filesystem in USErspace") client for RADOS block device (rbd) images. Given a pool
containing rbd images, it will mount a userspace file system allowing access to those images as regular
files at mountpoint.
The file system can be unmounted with:
fusermount -u mountpoint
or by sending SIGINT to the rbd-fuse process.
