| == Problems with mounting with httpfs == | == Problems with mounting with httpfs == | ||
| - | I am able to mount but the problem I am facing is that file is mounted as nosuid,nodev, which does not allow further mounting. | + | Check out [[HttpFSProbs]] for details |
| - | httpfs on /home/pravin/Etherboot/v2/httpfs/test type fuse.httpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=pravin) | + | |
| + | few worries : | ||
| + | - If FUSE is used to mount root partition, then when actual user logs in, he may not see any of those files as they are mounted by root. | ||
| + | - Need to find FUSE option which will allow everyone to see the file. | ||
| + | - httpfs program does not accept any option :-(, How can I pass options ? | ||
| + | |||
| + | PS: One way out can be that, root mounts iso over HTTP, then uses the local loop to mount that ISO. | ||
| + | I guess that, the ISO mounted by root is mounted using normal mount command, and hence should be readable by all. | ||
| + | and can also support other mount options if needed. \\ | ||
| + | I have not done this experiment yet, need to confirm before proceeding on this path.\\ | ||
| + | Done with this experiment, any user can view files if root remounts the iso file from httpfs with loop. | ||
