Afuse is an automounting file system implemented in user-space using FUSE. Afuse currently implements the most basic functionality that can be expected by an automounter; that is it manages a directory of virtual directories. If one of these virtual directories is accessed and is not already automounted, afuse will attempt to mount a filesystem onto that directory. If the mount succeeds the requested access proceeds as normal, otherwise it will fail with an error. The generated package includes the script afuse-avahissh: this will use avahi to automatically populate the root directory with hosts advertising their sftp service via Avahi. As it's not essential for general usage, avahi is considered an optional dependency (install it if you want to use that script).
