+
+During this year's Summer of Code, I wrote a userspace UFS driver using FUSE and Rust.
+The project was meant to ease the process of mounting FreeBSD UFS filesystems on other operating systems.
+Up to this point, only read-only filesystem access has been implemented.
+But as a bonus, fuse-ufs has the ability to mount filesystems with endianness different from the host's endianness.
+
+I am currently working on splitting the project into a binary and library part, to make it easier to integrate it into other operating systems.
+As part of this refactoring, an additional FUSE2 backend will be implemented, to be able to run it on OpenBSD.
+Currently there is testing infrastructure for Linux and FreeBSD with OpenBSD coming in the future.
+Although there is no CI for MacOS, a friend of mine tested it with MacFUSE and it works.
+
+Once the big refactor is done, I will start concentrating on implementing write support.
+Thanks to being bribed by mailto:[email protected][Robert Clausecker], I will also add soft-updates and mounting Sun's UFS in the future.
+
+The driver can be installed using `cargo install fuse-ufs`, or (if on Arch Linux) using your favorite AUR helper.
+Thanks to fuz@ a port for FreeBSD exists in package:sysutils/fusefs-ufs[].
+
+A big thanks to mailto:[email protected][Alan Somers] and mailto:[email protected][Kirk McKusick] for mentoring me and thanks to Robert Clausecker for the FreeBSD port and suggesting this GSoC project to me in the first place.
+Another thanks to Davids Paskevics for writing a fuzzer for me.
