Hello,
AFAIK the FUSE filesystems have in common the problem that they are read
only. I have to write to this share too.
Except at least ntfs-3g which is read + write (see
the link posted yesterday). It is fully compatible
with Windows, which may be useful in a Samba environment.
My idea was a samba VFS that, when it finds a compressed file with a
certain extension ( say .gzvfs ) allows a normal read access to this
file but allows to read and write to other files
Windows XP (and later) and almost all Linux file managers support
viewing a compressed file (e.g. zip archive) as a normal folder. This
feature lives inside the file manager application and doesn't require
any server-side support.
For ntfs the compression is transparent. No specific
extension or change needed in applications or scripts.
Regards
Jean-Pierre
I recently read somewhere about a user that was exporting via samba an
ntfs volume created under windows that had the "compress" option activated.
When writing to the share via samba he could create files but not
overwrite them. Reason is ntfs-3g driver doesn't support overwriting
transparently compressed files. He solved the issue by mounting the
volume under Windows and deselecting the "compress" option.
I'm sorry but I don't remember if that post was recent, and can't find
it againt right now.
