The fuse_adfs module provides a Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) utility for presenting the contents of ADFS floppy disc images as a mountable filing system on Linux, relying on the ADFSlib module for its image reading facilities.
With this filing system, disc images can be mounted in the same way as floppy discs and CDROMs, and navigated at the command line or with a file manager. The filing system translates ADFS-style filenames to Unix-friendly ones and adds suffixes to filenames to help applications recognize certain types of files.
This utility requires both FUSE and the Python bindings package for FUSE. The Python bindings need to be obtained from the FUSE project site - see the following Wiki page for more information:
http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FusePython
Follow the instructions given in the package for the Python bindings to install them. Once this has been done, the fuse_adfs utility can be installed.
Enter the fuse-adfs directory and type:
python setup.py build
Then, as root, type:
python setup.py install
Before the fuse_adfs.py script can be run, the kernel module that provides the userspace support must be loaded. The fuse_setup.py script provided can be run as root to load the fuse kernel module as required.
Alternatively, you can type the following as root:
modprobe fuse
As a normal user, you can now mount an ADFS image with the fuse_adfs.py utility, using the following syntax:
fuse_adfs.py <mount point> -o image=<image path>
Note that the mount point must refer to an empty directory.
When you have finished with an image, type:
fusermount -u <mount point>
or type (possibly as root):
umount <mount point>
