[tlug] FUSE follow-on thread

["Josh Glover" <jmglov@example.com>]

Let's use this thread to discuss issues surrounding my FUSE talk from yesterday:

http://www.tlug.jp/meetings.php?year=2007&month=7

1. Would sshfs be a good replacement for NFS for a smallish coding
team? (Zev Blut)

The general consensus is that sshfs[1] should give you fewer locking
and compatibility issues than NFS (because all that stuff is deferred
to the actual filesystem layer on the remote host, not the network
filesystem layer) but would be slower due to the encryption overhead.

I ran into some minor issues with SVN today when I was using sshfs to
work on the TLUG webserver. Nothing unsolvable, but it shows that
there will be a little setup time to take into consideration if you go
this route:

: jmglov@example.com; svn commit -m 'added demo; added PDF and XHTML
slides' meeting-200707.html
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///path/to/svn/.../trunk/meetings/2007/07'

slides' meeting-200707.html

Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow):
