fuse2fs compatibility wrapper

## NAME

**fuse-ext2** – fuse2fs compatibility wrapper

## SYNOPSIS

**fuse-ext2** \[**-hv**\] \[**-o** **ro**\|**force**\|**allow\_others**\[,…\]\]… *device*\|*image* *mountpoint*

## DESCRIPTION

This wrapper provides the **fuse-ext2** interface via [fuse2fs(1)](/fuse2fs/1.md), which you should migrate to instead.

## OPTIONS

- **-h**, **--help**

  Show usage string.

- **-v**, **--verbose**

  Ignored.

- **-o**, **--options** *option*\[,…\]

  [mount.fuse3(8)](/mount.fuse3/8.md) options, of which these are handled specially:

  - **ro**

    Mount read-only.

  - **rw**

    Mount read-write *if* **force** also given. This is the default.

  - **rw+**

    Same as **-o** **rw**,**force**

  - **silent**

    Ignored.

  - **force**

    If **rw**, mount read-write.

    all other *option*s are forwarded to **fuse2fs** directly.

    If **rw** but not **force**, the mount is read-only and a warning is issued.
