[Afpfs-ng-devel] Attempting AFP mount of an iPod Touch

[Zed A. S. <ze...@ze...>]

Hi Everyone,

So I got this iPod Touch, and I'm a Linux user with a good collection
of music who doesn't much like the snooping and other nasty things
Apple does with iTunes.  Well, I managed to get my iPod Touch to run
afpd and can mount it very nicely on a mac.  Works amazingly well, from
a mac.

Now I've got afpfs-ng 0.8.1 and fuse 2.7.3-1 for ArchLinux.

I have /etc/fuse.conf with user_allow_other.

I have confirmed all the networking is accessible, pings all arounds,
afp working from the mac.

Everything *almost* works except the mount point gets hosed during the
mount, and mount_afs prints out weird messages about localhost and such:

# mkdir /tmp/afptest
# chown zedshaw.users /tmp/afptest
# ls /tmp/afptest
# ls -l /tmp/afptest
total 0
# ls -ld /tmp/afptest
drwxr-xr-x 2 zedshaw users 1 May  7 17:48 /tmp/afptest/
# ls -ld /tmp/afptest
drwxr-xr-x 2 zedshaw users 1 May  7 17:48 /tmp/afptest/

# mount_afp -o user=zedshaw,group=users,rw
"afp://root:SECRET@192.168.11.4/iPhone Root FileSystem" /tmp/afptest

Mounting 192.168.11.4 from iPhone Root FileSystem on /tmp/afptest
Volume iPhone Root FileSystem changes the server's encoding Mounting of
volume iPhone Root FileSystem of server localhost succeeded.

# ls /tmp/afptest
ls: cannot access /tmp/afptest: Input/output error
# ls -l /tmp/ | grep afptest
ls: cannot access /tmp/afptest: Input/output error
?????????? ? ?       ?       ?            ? afptest

Now, I can also mount the ipod via curlftpfs (although that don't work
as well), and will be trying sshfs, but ideally afpfs would be the best.

Any pointers about why the above directory comes out all garbage?

Thanks in advance.
