How to use Valgrind on FUSE filesystems
Hunting memory leaks, I’ve faced the problem of using Valgrind on a FUSE filesysem. Since fusermount is a SUIDed executable, Valgrind somehow interfere with filesystem mounting.
Here is a solution I’ve found searching on the Net:
# cd /usr/bin # if [[ -e fusermount ]]; then mv fusermount fusermount.real; fi # touch fusermount # chown root.fuse fusermount # chmod ug+x fusermount # echo '#!/bin/sh' >> fusermount # echo 'exec /usr/bin/fusermount.real $@' >> fusermount [ or depending on the path of fusermount ] # echo 'exec /bin/fusermount $@' >> fusermount
The original resource about that seems to be gone forever.
