FUSE: Filesystem in Userspace for easy file concatenation of big files

Files with the string "-concat-" anywhere in the filename are considered concatenation description special files.

They contain a file list, which, when mounted as a fuse file system will turn these files into concatenations of the contents of the contained files.

e.g.

  file1.MTS
  file2.MTS
  file3.MTS

  bigmovie-concat-file.MTS

contents of bigmovie-concat-file.MTS:

file1.MTS
file2.MTS
file3.MTS

on seperate lines. Empty lines or lines, which do not resolve to a file where a stat call succeeds, are ignored.

You will need to install libfuse-dev to compile:

sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev

Compile with

  gcc -Wall concatfs.c `pkg-config fuse --cflags --libs` -o concatfs

Use with:

  concatfs path-to-source-dir path-to-target-dir [fuse-mount options]
