Shfs

[cosmos7]

Howdy all,

Got my 6000L about a week ago, and have been doing a lot of reading and tinkering since then.  One of the reasons I wanted a linux pda was the sheer power and flexibility of it; definately a killer app for me is shfs.  I use it frequently to mount work stuff at home, and vice-versa.

Now I got samba going no problem, but it isn't practical for internet use, and certainly not secure.  I've done a fair amount of investigation, and other than casual mention, haven't been able to find discussion of shfs on the Zaurus.  I got an arm build environment going with instructions from this site, but am having trouble building shfs.  Has anyone built the kernel module and binaries for the Z, and can point me in the right direction?

Well, I finally got it figured out.  Taken me a heck of long time, as I'd never set up a cross-compiled environment before, so I had no idea what was correct.  Also, since shfs requires a kernel module, I had more problems there.  It isn't enough to simply point at the Sharp kernel source, turns out I had to select the correct config file from def-configs, and build a module set before I could get it to compile correctly.

In any event, now I have it working, I've built a package.  Keep in mind this will probably only work on the SL-6000L, and even then likely only on the stock ROM due to the kernel module.  I've tested the package on my Z, and it installs/uninstalls cleanly, but I have no other hardware / configurations to test it on.  Use at own risk...

Please report back any problems / other working configs.
