fuse3 file system that uses the p7zip library to mount archives (read only)
$ fuse3-p7zip archive.7z /tmp/mnt
$ ls -la /tmp/mnt
$ fusermount -u /tmp/mnthttps://github.com/andrew-grechkin/fuse3-p7zip
This application is an implementation of Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) version 3 backed by 7zip library. It's able to mount any archive supported by 7zip as a filesystem mountpoint and have read only access to any file in this archive.
- Linux
- fuse3
- p7zip
If archive name matches regex m/[.] cp\d{3,} [.]/ix (for example cyrillic-created-on-windows.cp866.zip) then matched
encoding cp866 will be enforced for listing archived files/directories.
- -p
<PASSWORD> - --password=
<PASSWORD>
Provide a password which will be used if archive is protected with a password.
- --passfile=
</path/to/password/file>
Provide a path to a file with a password which will be used if archive is protected with a password.
- FUSE3_P7ZIP_LIBRARY
Change where application searches for 7z.so library. By default this is /usr/lib/p7zip/7z.so
- FUSE3_P7ZIP_PASSWORD
Provide a password which will be used if archive is protected with a password.
- FUSE3_P7ZIP_FORCE_ENCODING
Some archives (especially those ones created on windows) have file names encoded in non Unicode encoding. This environment variable forces application to use alternative encoding to decode file names.
for example:
$ fuse3-p7zip cyrillic-created-on-windows.zip /tmp/mnt
$ ls /tmp/mnt
''$'\302\217''ਢ¥â.txt'
$ fusermount -u /tmp/mnt
$ FUSE3_P7ZIP_FORCE_ENCODING=CP866 fuse3-p7zip cyrillic-created-on-windows.zip /tmp/mnt
$ ls /tmp/mnt
'Привет.txt'- FUSE3_P7ZIP_MAX_OPEN_SIZE
The nature of 7z API does not allow to have random access to the content of a file in archive. This means that each file should be extracted to a temporary directory on access. If this file is too big (for example it's partition in an .img file - application will extract the whole partition to /tmp. Most of the time on modern Linux it's a RAM based directory). To prevent this situation you can set this environment variable to a maximum allowed file size in bytes. Attempts openining any file in archive bigger than this will end up in E2BIG error.
- FUSE3_P7ZIP_FORMATS
When opening a file the application tries all formats in the alphabetical order. Sometimes it's desired to open a file with a format later in the list. This environment variable allows to override formats order.
for example (try open .iso file with Iso or Udf formats first and only fallback on APM and GPT formats)
FUSE3_P7ZIP_FORMATS="Iso:Udf:*:APM:GPT" fuse3-p7zip ubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso /tmp/mntTo check the list of all available formats run 7z i command
I suggest to use archivemount for all tar-based archives as a priority and only fallback to p7zip for such archives
