GmailFS problem

Black Hawk · 03-19-2007, 10:16 AM

I'm trying to setup gmailfs so I can use my gmail account as a harddrive. I followed this guide

I use the folder /media for mounted filsystems instead of
/mnt.

When I try to mount the gmail drive I get the error:
[mntent]: line 6 in /etc/fstab is bad
Ignored option :rw
Ignored option :noauto

Here is my fstab file

Code:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
# /dev/hdb1

/dev/hda2    /media/wind ntfs  nls=utf8,umask=0222 0    0
/dev/cdemu0 /media/virtual1  udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/usr/bin/gmailfs.py  /media/gmail  gmailfs  noauto  0  0

I also followed this guide to tweak my file system for speed.

Did you follow the guide exactly? The fstab line looks pretty much just like in the howto, so if it produces problems, I guess it's just because you've done something differently than in the guide. No idea exactly, because I haven't done that before (and I thought Gmail's licence agreement doesn't allow you to use Gmail account as your disk space; I thought it stated pretty clearly that anything Google doesn't tell you to do is illegal use). Maybe you should try and start from the beginning, following each step as closely as you can?

I hope you didn't get any errors during the steps of that howto; for example if you had to compile some part of the code, and that produced errors, that could be the problem point.
