Forward: I'm using Macfusion to mount volumes via SSHFS, but this is a problem when the volumes are mounted manually, too (i.e. via the commandline w/ sshfs).
I dont know if this is a problem with Silverkeeper or with MacFUSE, and i'm not sure exactly how to figure out which...but when I try to use LaCie's free Silverkeeper (backup utility @ http://www.lacie.com/silverkeeper/ ) to select a SSHFS mounted volume as a source, it refuses to see inside, or even read the source in the "select source" dialog box, which is akin to an open file dialog box as far as I can tell. I've noticed, however that in other programs (e.g. Textedit, Word, etc) the open dialog box correctly displays the mounted volume and the files within (and said files are accessible as per normal). I've tried the -olocal option to treat the mounted volume as local. And although that works fine for the Finder, it still doesnt fix the Silverkeeper problem. Any suggestions on what I should try, or which program's fault this bug is ? Clearly the problem lies in an interaction between Silverkeeper and MacFUSE volumes, because Silverkeeper works with many different brands of drive as well as mounted network shares (i've used AFS shares successfully before as source and destination). My question is: How does Silverkeeper know the difference? Shouldn't MacFUSE drives appear to it like any other drive? And more importantly.. if Silverkeeper has this problem, what other software has this problem that we are yet to discover? P.S. My overall goal here is a backup solution, for which I would normally use rsync, but it's not installed on the remote side, and all I have is sftp access, so I figured what I'd do was mount the ssh access as a volume w/ MacFUSE and then use silverkeeper to do a backup. And yes, I know, I could use rsync locally after i've mounted the volumes w/ MacFUSE, which, essentially is my solution at the moment. I'm more troubled by an app treating the MacFUSE volume differently than a normal volume, as I was under the impression that MacFUSE volumes were supposed to be indistinguishable. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacFUSE" group.
