LUFS network filesystems kernel module

[bhsx]

http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/fs.html

This is a kernel module that allows mounting ftp, ssh, sftp and others as a normal "local" filesystem. Similar to KDE3.1's kio_fish, this is a module and daemon that can be used by any application.

I'd love to see this in some future releases. I'm working on one now, based on eadz's KnoppixKDE; but I'm a hack when it comes to anything moderately complicated.



Please consider this, as I'm sure you can see the usefullness of it. Here's a usage example from the site:


Mount example:


[user@localhost]$ lufsmount sshfs://mali@lufs.sourceforge.net ~/mnt/lufs –-fmask=444 -–dmask=555


or, using mount:

[root@localhost]# mount -t lufs none /mnt/lufs -o nosuid,fs=sshfs,host=lufs.sourceforge.net,username =mali,fmode=444,dmode=555


This would be a fantastic match with Knoppix. The usefulness is mouth-watering. Please, please sneak this into the next KnoppixKDE, hell, the next Knoppix.

Wow, I think you're right !!
This would be a really good idea to include...
(maybe this post should be in "ideas" section though)
I've often tried Mandrake, and even in it's present state Knoppix outperforms it when it comes to browsing my network.
Suppose somebody will have to do a remaster with this one.
I'll take a look and will see if I understand how it works and maybe try one...
Thanx for letting people get to know 'bout this.
