Mount Failed: liblufs-ftp.so: cannot open sha

[statik213]

I just installed lufs and what an awesome concept!
Anywayz, I tried to mount an ftp folder on another machine on my LAN like so:

lufsmount ftp://viz:***@chimera/linux cc

And I got this error msg:

liblufs-ftp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
unsupported file system: ftp

Anyone know what to do?
I have Fedora Core 3 that I just upgraded from FC2, and that caused some similiar problems wiht Samba as well...  But since this is a clean new install on FC3, liblufs-ftp.so should have been installed as well..

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I had the same problem with FC2 a while ago. You should add the directory that liblufs-ftp.so resides in to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig.

Hope this helps.

Well, I found the files under /root/rpm/lufs-ver/filesystems/ftpfs/.libs

Now each filesystem that lufs suports is in a seperate subfolder, do i need to add each one seperately to /etc/ld.so.conf  so that i can use them?

Hmm did you use an rpm? I just compiled the tarball and this is what I did:

First patch the kernel to include the lufs kernel module and then compile lufs:

$ ./configure --disable-kernel-support
$ make
$ make install

$ vi /etc/fstab:

none   /mnt/ftpserver  lufs fs=ftpfs,host=1.2.3.4,username=user,password=pass   0 0

$ mount /mnt/ftpserver

Add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.conf and then run ldconf.

So I guess the standard install dir for lufs is /usr/local/lib...

Good luck!

I did not see how to patch the kernal module. I just followed the instructions in the INSTALL file and did only this:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

How did you install it? I'm not sure how to patch the kernal with lufs module. I'm a little new to linux, so bear with me.

Thanks for all the help so far!

I did the kernel patch because the lufs somehow couldn't compile the kernel module (probably because it couldn't find the sources for the kernel I worked with). If it does compile with no problems than this should not really be necessary...

Patch kernel for lufs module:

Download the lufs kernel 2.6 patch and download linux kernel (I tested 2.6.8 which worked, 2.6.9 did not work, didn't test with 2.6.10 )

$ tar zxvf linux-2.6.8
$ cd linux-2.6.8
$ cp /boot/config-2.6.5-1.358 ./.config
$ make oldconfig
$ zcat /download/lufs-0.9.7-2.6.0-test9.patch.gz | patch -Np1
$ make menuconfig

Enable lufs module (filesystems->misc.filesystems->lufs)

$ make bzImage
$ make modules
$ make modules_install
$ cp arch/i386/bzImage /boot/linux-2.6.8
$ mkinitrd /boot/linux-2.6.8.img 2.6.8

and add the new kernel to grub or other boot loader.

The protocol name is used do dynamically load the correct library for it. Stupid that it doesnt automaticaly appends "fs" for you :)
