Hi Mike,

I've managed to copy at least one file to the mounted directory :)

then I start to receive this error all the time:
cp: cannot overwrite directory `/mnt/mongo-test/myfile.txt' with non-directory

Is it fixable?

P.S. I know that write operations are experimental :-/

regards
Valery

I'm getting this one when mongo stopped and then started again. Looks like it doesnt try to reconnect.

I trying to compile gridfs-fuse and get some errors:

root@z11:/111/gridfs-fuse# make
g++ -o mount_gridfs main.o operations.o options.o local_gridfile.o -L/usr/local/lib -L. -lmongoclient -lfuse_ino64 >-lboost_thread-mt -lboost_filesystem-mt -lboost_system-mt
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmongoclient
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfuse_ino64
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [mount_gridfs] Error 1
root@z11:/111/gridfs-fuse#

What shall I do to compile it correctly?

I'm curious if anyone has come across "‘off_t’ has not been declared" error, here's the dump i got:

g++ -g -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I. -I/usr/local/include -c local_gridfile.cpp

I'm willing to fix it, but i'm at a lost.

When I try to build with scons I get:

Error: can't find library: mongoclient

I've tried copying the contents of mongodb/lib and mongodb/include/mongo/client to my gridfs-fuse dir before building and that doesn't help. Any ideas?

Changes required to compile it under freebsd ( mabe other *BSD systems )

-LDOPTS=-L/usr/local/lib -L. -lmongoclient -lfuse_ino64 -lboost_thread-mt -lboost_filesystem-mt -lboost_system-mt
+LDOPTS=-L/usr/local/lib -L. -lmongoclient -lfuse -lboost_thread -lboost_filesystem -lboost_system

Tested under:
FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE #6: Sat May 21 21:46:12 CEST 2011 amd64

MongoDB, Boost-* from freebsd ports collection.

There are a couple problems I had building in Linux.

1. sys/types.h
2. boost libraries with -mt suffixes (which aren't necessary -- see the comments on this issue: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22471)

This patch fixes the problems:

Hi, is there a successor to this project? There hasn't been much recent activity. Thanks!

I'm trying to compile this on Debian Lenny 5.0 and I'm getting the following output when I try to compile:

I am using the libboost1.35-dev libraries

Is this project still active ?

I am trying to compile the wwoods fork of gridfs-fuse in an Ubuntu server with the lastest stable version of MongoDB, but I am getting the following error:

operations.cpp:30:36: error: mongo/util/hostandport.h: No such file or directory

I noticed that that file is in the "mongo/util/net" directory instead of "mongo/util".

Maybe something need to be updated in order to work with this version of MongoDB?

Try to install:
boost_1_48_0
fuse-2.8.6
mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.0.0
CentOS release 5.5

Error occur :

I solved all the dependencies.
Just the last won't to give up!
