Reliability or Config Issues? #4

Closed mhamrah closed 10 years ago

mhamrah commented 14 years ago

I'm curious about the reliability of cloudfuse, or if there is any other documentation which can be referenced to understand the implication of various options. I'm wondering if there are things you can or can't do with it. I'm trying to get this working, but am having some odd behavior.

First, I can only run in dev mode (with the -d option). This allows me to create directories, move and copy files. When running without dev mode, doing anything in the mounted directory (including ls) seems to lock up the console session. mv produces errors like "preserving times for XYZ: function not implemented, but the mv seems to work.

I'm also curious if anyone has gotten this to work as a file system with ftp. I'm getting frequent timeouts when trying to list contents or do uploads, but sometimes it works okay. Not sure if this is due to dev mode or not. Again, running without -d mode, nothing seems to happen, and I usually need to kill everything and remount.

Thanks.

I really want to see cloudfuse be successful, since file system access to cloud storage is so much more natural than funky apis.

I would also like to understand a little more about the options that are supported, especially related to the many fuse options. My eventual aim is to try and get encryption such as ecryptfs to write encrypted data directly to the cloudfuse mount, though I'm pretty sure that's going to take some clever configuration and probably some enhancements (my current attempt crashes cloudfuse).
