Add
fair_lockingmount option. By default, macFUSE uses an unfair locking mechanism to ensure file system consistency. This can lead to issues when the file system is processing an extreme amount of operations in parallel. In this case, some file system operations might be delayed too long for real-time tasks. Thefair_lockingoption ensures that file system operations are processed fairly. Fair locking comes with a little performance overhead compared to unfair locking, but it might be the better option when dealing with high pressure situations. -
Address kernel panic on macOS 14 when a macFUSE volume is shared over SMB. For details see osxfuse/osxfuse#982.
