macfuse: another tahoe fuse implementation This is the result of various experimentation done into using python-fuse to provide access to tahoe on the mac. It's rough in quite a few places, and is really the result of investigation more than a thorough implemenation of the fuse api. upon launch, it looks for the users root_dir by opening ~/.tahoe/node.url and ~/.tahoe/private/root_dir.cap it then proceeds to cache the directory structure found by walking the users tahoe drive (safely in the face of directory loops) into memory and then mounts that filesystem. when a file is read, it calls the tahoe node to first download the file into a cache directory (~/.tahoe/_cache) and then serves up the file from there. when a file is written, a temporary file is allocated within the tmp dir of the cache, and upon close() (specifically upon release()) the file is uploaded to the tahoe node, and the new directory entry written. note that while the durectory structure is cached into memory only when the filesystem is mounted, that it is 'write through' i.e. changes made via fuse are reflected into the underlying tahoe fs, even though changes made to the tahoe fs otherwise show up only upon restart. in addition to opening files for read and write, the mkdir() and rename() calls are supported. most other file system operations are not yet supported. notably stat() metadata is not currently tracked by tahoe, and is variably reported by this fs depending on write cache files. also note that this version does not fully support Finder. access through normal unix commands such as cat, cp, mv, ls etc works fine, and read access to file from within finder (including preview images and double- click to open) work ok. but copies to the tahoe drive from within finder may or may not succeed, but will always report an error. This is still under investigation. also note that this does not include any build integration. the included _fusemodule.so was built on mac os 10.4 against macfuse 1.3.0, and is known to not work against 10.5-1.3.1 it's possible it may also contain dependencies upon parts of macports used to build the python that it was built against. this will be cleaned up later. usage: python tahoefuse.py /Path/to/choice/of/mountpoint or optionally python tahoefuse.py -ovolicon=/Path/to/icon.icns /Path/to/mountpoint upon startup, tahoefuse will walk the tahoe directory, then print a summary of files and folders found, and then daemonise itself. to exit, either eject the 'drive' (note: 10.5 doesn't show it as a drive, since it considers fuse to be a connected server instead) or unmount it via umount /Path/to/mountpoint etc.
