lklfuse does not work

[Alain De Vos]

lklfuse -o ...=xfs -u uid=1001 -gid=1001 of an xfs partition seems not to work.
I can not travers the mounted directory even as root.

I'm not surprised, sysutils/fusefs-lkl has proven broken and almost unusable for me too (see PR 265202) and has not seen any update for years.

Broken stuff should be removed. Because you can lose data.
I moved my data from xfs to ext4, next line works fine:

fuse-ext2 -o uid=1001 -o force /dev/ada0p3 /mnt/ada0p3

 

[bsduck]

ext4 is for sure a better option for interoperability, but I recommend using native ext2fs(5) rather than sysutils/fusefs-ext2.

You can try with mount -t ext2fs -o async /dev/ada0p3 /mnt/ada0p3

Anyone who uses a non-native file system is taking a risk; the difference between XFS (which you said is completely broken on FreeBSD) and ext4 is one of degree, not a black-and-white question. And I agree wiht bsduck: Getting fusefs out of the picture by using ext2fs is slightly more safe, but only slightly.

Why not ZFS? That's a file system where both Linux and FreeBSD have first-party implementations.

If that fails, why not use FAT, but then only transfer tar files (or similar archives, where file names and attributes are transported out-of-band as far as the file system is concerned?
