ftp mount

[tallemd]

i compiled ftpfs.sf.net and lufs.sf.net hehe...
the basic plot being to work on mp3 play ability and web cam ability
well it all looks good except that when i go to run it i get this

ftp # insmod lufs.o
lufs.o: unresolved symbol preempt_schedule
ftp # insmod ftpfs.o
ftpfs.o: unresolved symbol preempt_schedule
ftpfs.o:
Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license
and it has unresolved symbols. Contact the module supplier for
assistance, only they can help you.

can any one figure out where i went wrong??
i used the ezx cross compiler on the newer of the two linux kernels
so that i would get the right kernel version and gcc version
iwmmx and all and 2.4.20 and patching the kernel method when available
anyway here is what i compiled so far along with the make files
and the finished utils
all it lacks is just the right .o's

ftpfs requires fusefs, which I don't think is available on the phone...

[tallemd]

fusefs is for ruby and ftpfs is written in c ??
I think the problem might be a bad kernel option
i didn't know how to set some of the stuff in the menuconfig
and the defaults are incomplete

fwahahaha
got the sucker to work
ok here's the documentation as such
unzip ftp.zip to your phones home directory
this should create a dir ftp next to my programs, my ...
then insmod the .o file
add ftp dir to your ld_library_path and path just like with bluez
library is important because it points the programs to the libraries
which is where the real magic happens

then use lufsd to mount I have tested it to work partially
however several of the other programs don't work due to
not being able to find others
no matter though lufsd and the libraries should be enough
although i have a small problem in that on mount it attempts
to access mtab and mtab~ (which is mtabs lock)

well the mtab access runs just fine but
there is no lock file so the program crashes
the solution of course is a rootfs with a mtab lock that's rw
another change which would be nice is to have the programs in their
right directories that way they could find each other
as it is they aren't so good at that they look in ro directories
in which you can't put programs

by the way for those of you who have trouble with a preempt problem
simular to mine then the secret is an option
in menuconfig you find it by going general setup
then uncheck preemptible kernel at the bottom of that screen

here is a nice script to get you started

cd /diska/ftp
mkdir /diska/mnt
chmod +xX *
insmod lufs.o
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/diska/ftp
PATH=$PATH:/diska/ftp
./lufsd none /diska/mnt -o fs=ftpfs,own_fs,host=ftp.kernel.org

New post ... ok really works now ... look at
http://lufs.sourceforge.net
for more complete documentation.
its worth noting that when you unzip to make it executable you should run.

chmod +xX *

and when you get ready to mount you should run

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/diska/ftp
export PATH=$PATH:/diska/ftp

the mount format that works for me is

lufsmount ftpfs://username:password@ftp.site.com /diska/mnt -o ftpactive

more documentation is available from the site on arguments and options.
a note worth making is that as compiled the system supports
gnutella, ftp, ssh style ftp (sftp), and some other trivial examples.
another note is that it has trouble
packet droppings
connection droppings
some directories and files may not be browsable for a variety of reasons.
I think it's because it has trouble following links
and if you get a stale nfs i think that has to do with dropped conn.
