hmm.. I guess I could help. I'd like to see some more specs thou..
I've seen this posting on the forum before, but not in this way. As you are all aware Gmail gives you one gig storage, and GmailFS gives you a way of useing the 1 gig storage as a file system. Now we have devised a plan idea to incooperate gmailfs into knoppix... I have written a half a report on this and contact imformation at This Location
Please take a look we would much appericate it.
p.s. the site is all text it will take no time to load why not look![]()
thanks for your time!

Well the point of that page is as an introductory of what we want to do.. no real big specs on there.. just to explain the main idea.. after you decide you want to help then we can get into details.. if you would can you please email me so we at least have a way outside of the fourm to contact each other easly. thanks.. (siknik@gmail.com btw.. )
I have GmailFS running with Knoppix, but we should ask Google first whether that is an acceptable use of their service.
Also, I must say that it's slowww...
I don't know... I read Google's program policy, and the only line which may be against it is that no user can "Modify, adapt, translate, or reverse engineer any portion of the Gmail Service "
I'll contact google and ask...
Can someone please ask Google what they think about GmailFS.
Here is how to make it work from Knoppix Live CD (no HD install needed):
Code:# # use Gmail as a mountable filesystem with Knoppix # by probono # GPL # # THIS IS PURELY EXPERIMENTAL SOFTWARE. # USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. # become root sudo su export WORKDIR=$HOME/gmailfs # FUSE is required, so get, unpack and compile it wget http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/source...use-1.3.tar.gz unp fuse-1.3.tar.gz cd ./fuse-1.3 ./configure ./make cd ../ # python2.3-dev is required, so get and unpack it wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool...11sid_i386.deb unp -u python2.3-dev_2.3.4-11sid_i386.deb # now use it export PYTHONPATH=$WORKDIR/usr/lib/python2.3/:$WORKDIR/fuse-python/ # the FUSE Python bindings are also required wget http://richard.jones.name/google-hac...-python.tar.gz unp fuse-python.tar.gz ##################################### ### HOW TO INSTALL THIS IN KNOPPIX??? - SOLVED! export PYTHONHOME=$WORKDIR/usr/ ln -s /usr/lib/python2.3/* $WORKDIR/usr/lib/python2.3/ ln -s ../fuse-1.3/include/fuse.h ./ ##################################### ##################################### #### BY HAND CHANGE THE FOLLOWING IN setup.py # library_dirs=["../lib",], # to # library_dirs=["../fuse-1.3/lib",], ##################################### # compile FUSE Python bindings python setup.py build # WORKS!!! # gmailfs wget http://richard.jones.name/google-hac...gmailfs.tar.gz unp gmailfs.tar.gz export PYTHONPATH=$WORKDIR/fuse-python/build/lib.linux-i686-2.3/:$WORKDIR/libgmail-0.0.8/ insmod ./fuse-1.3/kernel/fuse.o # SEEMS TO WORK !!!!!! mkdir -p /mnt/gmail ./fuse-1.3/util/fusermount -n gmailfs -l -c -x /mnt/gmail/ $WORKDIR/gmailfs/gmailfs.py /mnt/gmail username=XXXXX,password=XXXXXXX,fsname=XXXXX & umount /mnt/gmail
probono,
this is not working with knoppix 3.4 v5.17.04.
i run the script as root and there is no error output (to the screen anyway).
the /mnt/gmail directory is not created.
what version are you running this script on. looking forward to testing it out.
regards,
paul
okay pb, did a little sandbox testing with 3.4 v5-17-04
originally i saved your script as mntgmailfs and just did a chmod +x on it and ran it. that produced the results above (no console error message, no /mnt/gmail directory creation).
so i started running each script command by hand (as root)
the script poops out at the
wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/ma...11sid_i386.deb
command with this error
i'll try to find another source for the deb package and go from there.
btw, *i think* part of my problem is that you posted the script in the embedded window in the forum. I saved it as text in firefox. when i opened it in vi it is doing the stair step format, and needs to be manually edited. any chance of getting this script in pure text somehow to avoid syntax errors?
regards,

hi pau1knopp,
this is not really a script yet, but more a collection of commands to be entered as root on the konsole, step-by-step.
probono
working my way through it...
got past the error above and now working on the next one.
thanks!
