About

FUSE stands for Filesystem in USErspace, a mechanism to allow unprivileged user to mount different filesystems w/o hitting kernel too much. See its homepage and dedicated page on Wikipedia.

Status

Fedora ships with FUSE since FC-4. It consists from the in-kernel module, the main package, called fuse, the fuse-devel subpackage (intended only for developers) and fuse-libs package. The split of package into fuse and fuse-libs was made due to different licensing schemes - fuse-libs licensed under LGPLv2+ while fuse licensed under GPL+.

RHEL provides in-kernel FUSE module since version 5.4.
