openSUSE 11.4 and MobileME iDisk


After fiddling about with things off and on, my MobileME iDisk is perfectly usable under Linux!

I'm using openSUSE 11.4. The only addition I had to make to my system, is the installation of the wdfs package. Pulled right in from zypper, with
Code:
sudo zypper install wdfs
After installation, the only thing I had to do to mount my iDisk is issue:
Code:
wdfs https://idisk.mac.com/<user ID> /mount/point
It then prompted me for a username and password. The user ID is your MobileME address, WITH the "@me.com" after it. If you don't put that, it doesn't work. I can copy files up/down easily, with a regular cp command, or via a file manager like Dolphin or Konqueror. Working on figuring out how to make it not prompt me for a ID/password...believe it's in a davfs secrets file, but will work on it as time permits.

Adding user ID/password to command line works:
Code:
wdfs https://idisk.mac.com/<user ID> /mount/point -o username=<user id>,password=<password>
..as does shoveling something into fstab
Code:
wdfs#https://idisk.mac.com/<user ID>    /mount/point    fuse    users,username=<user ID>@me.com,password=<password>      0 0
Follow your fstab formatting rules. The "allow_other" is important, which will let your 'standard' user ID mount your disk. Omit if you only want to mount via root. Also, bear in mind that fstab can be viewed by others, so if you share your computer, you might want to manually mount the disk, so you're not writing your password down somewhere.
