Ok, so I have been trying to google the heck out of this thing to absolutely no avail and I'm really and truly stuck! The assignment, as posed to the class by my operating systems concepts teacher, was to start work on creating a file system. To begin with, he pointed us to http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/fuse/index.php?title=Hello_World#Hello_World_example as an example of using FUSE to create and mount a filesystem consisting of the text file 'hello' containing the text "Hello World!". We were to take this as a base and expand to create three additional files. Taking hellofs.c as the starting point, write a file system that has several files:
* the original "/hello"
* another file that has a different name and content
* a third file that is displayable in the directory list but unreadable otherwise
* a fourth file that returns random strings of random length.
As long as I can get it to work making the second file I feel confident that I can get the rest...but I just can't get it to work properly! It will create the file reference in the directory and mount, but I cannot get it to copy the data *into* the file, it's just filled with memory garbage. Any possible help? I have tried it with the method shown below, and also by trying to have two separate sets of fuse_operations passed into fuse_main, but nothing worked!
