LinuxMount 1.0 Release Notes.  

What's it do?

The Linux Mount creates transparency between the EXT2 Linux file system, and our LinuxStor filesystem. 
 It does this by utilizing an existing Virtual File System (VFS) module already loaded into contemporary linux distributions.  The LinuxMount then translates datastructurus between the VFS and the Web File System Transfer Protocol.  WebFSTP is based on rfc 959 FTP (we know, we've should have called ourselves ftpfs) and simply provides file system command extensions for increased functionality.


Reguirements and dependencies:  
-  bash shell is called by the ftpmount program.  While you don't have to run it in the bash shell, it must be present on the 
machine.

-  coda:  while  the required coda kernel modules already exist in linux kernels  2.2.5, and 2.2.12 and up.  It's worth noting that the 
module "coda" of type "fs" is required.  While being root on your computer, you may verify by issuing the "modprobe coda" command and "lsmod".  




Known Issues:

Using the LinuxMount, and Coda on the same machine has not been tested, is not supported, and is definately a BAD idea.  
LinuxMount makes use of the /dev/cfs0 file and coda does as well.  

Mounting multiple Linuxstor accounts seems to work, but is unsupported.

After installing, the act of mounting sometimes doesn't "take" on the first try.  We're working on it and will have a new revision 
of the mount.   

If your /tmp directory is NFS mounted, you can't use LinuxMount. We've had some trouble getting this to work.
