Full functionality of {Project} requires that the kernel supports:

- **FUSE** - Required to mount SIF files, for fuse-overlayfs
on older kernels (see OverlayFS below), and for mounting ext3
overlay filesystems.
The kernels of all major Linux operating systems support FUSE by
default, but system administrators must not disable it. If system
administrators do not want users to mount FUSE filesystems in the
primary namespace, they can remove or not install the ``fuse``
package which contains the privileged ``fusermount`` program.
{Project} does not use ``fusermount`` in any mode.

- **Unprivileged user namespaces** - (minimum kernel >=3.8, >=4.18
or 3.10.0-1127 on RHEL7 recommended)
Required to run containers without root or setuid privilege.
