+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.
