NAME
convmvfs - utility that mirrors a whole filesystem tree from one
charset to another.
SYNOPSIS
convmvfs mountpoint [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the convmvfs command.
convmvfs is a FUSE (File System in Userspace) utility that
transparently mirrors a filesystem tree converting the filenames from
one charset to another on the fly. Only the names of files and
directories are converted, the file content remains intact. The
mirrored tree is mounted at the given mountpoint.
OPTIONS
General options
-o opt[,opt...]
mount options
-h, --help

-h, --help

FUSE options
-d, -o debug

-o Mount options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma
separated list of options. The following options are
recognized:
allow_other
allow access to other users
allow_root
allow access to root
nonempty
allow mounts over non-empty file/dir
default_permissions
enable permission checking by kernel
fsname=NAME
set filesystem name
large_read
issue large read requests (2.4 only)
max_read=N
set maximum size of read requests
hard_remove
immediate removal (don’t hide files)
use_ino
let filesystem set inode numbers
readdir_ino
try to fill in d_ino in readdir
direct_io
use direct I/O
kernel_cache
cache files in kernel
umask=M
set file permissions (octal)
uid=N set file owner
gid=N set file group
entry_timeout=T
cache timeout for names (1.0s)
negative_timeout=T
cache timeout for deleted names (0.0s)
attr_timeout=T
cache timeout for attributes (1.0s)
srcdir=PATH
which directory to convert
icharset=CHARSET
charset used in srcdir
ocharset=CHARSET
charset used in mounted filesystem
NOTES
If you use a normal user account to mount the file system be sure to
have r/w permissions to /dev/fuse.
Use iconv --list to see which charsets are supported.
To allow other users to access the mount point use allow_other option.
IMPORTANT: if the mount point and srcdir point at the same directory,
readdir call will enter a dead loop. BE SURE TO AVOID THIS SITUATION!
SAMPLE USE
to mount:
$ convmvfs /ftp/pub_gbk -o srcdir=/ftp/pub,icharset=utf8,ocharset=gbk
to unmount:
$ fusermount -u /ftp/pub_gbk
